Don't get fooled

There are currently two major surf magazines, SURFER and SURFING. Guess what? They are owned by the same magazine conglomerate, Primedia. Surfer used to bill itself as the "Bible" of the sport, and for a long time it was. But now, in keeping with the times of oligopolies and the hyper-commercialization of surfing, Surfer, along with it's younger partner, Surfing, is a piece of toilet paper. The editorial content has been dumbed down to general public intelligence, the photos are not as spectacular as they used to be, and the characters they cover, the surfers themselves are nowhere near as interesting and colorful as they used to be. Blah...

BEST MAG EVER!

I've had a subscripiton for 5 years now and Surfer is by far the best mag I've ever read, i could read it front to back or back to front 10 times and it would still be the best. It's almost a prescipition than a subscripition!

Surfer Mag

By far the most comprehensive magazine on surfing, comes out monthly with news on surfing contests, changes in the surfing industry, and all the ins & outs you could think of, an amazing magazine, the only mag you should have if you are a surfer.
