Surfing Life

Surfing Life has helped shape and inform generations of surfers for over four decades. Our mission is to help make you a better surfer. We do this by publishing four issues based on the six pillars of the surfing experience - Surfers, Surfboards, Waves, Culture, Travel and Technique - each issue dedicated to all of these subjects, providing you with the substance, depth and focus that makes it worth buying. This is the purpose of a surf mag in the digital age - to inspire and inform, to be an essential source of reference to the active surfer. At a minimum of 100 pages, with high production values, the best imagery, insights from the world’s best surf scribes, there’s no doubt why Surfing Life has been at the forefront of surf media for over four decades. Surfing Life is BRIGHT in an intelligent and colourful way. Surfing Life is BRASH, poking fun, but at themselves as much as others. Surfing Life is BRAVE, to take on the tough topics. Surfing Life is the magazine with something for everyone. Surfing Life is Made From Surfing.

THE DROP

FORECAST • It’s a privilege to sit and chat with influential people. Sometimes they’re famous, most times they’re more knowledgeable than us, and often they give a glimpse into what’s coming … lines on surfing’s horizon. This issue Josh Allen, from World Surfaris, looks into the distance.

Flex-Strength-Weight • Being a company to approach things in a logical manner and liking to be buried up to our knees in facts, we shall approach this in the same way: What is special about longboards and why is NOTOX the solution?
