Surfing Life

At a minimum of 124 pages, with high production values, the best imagery, insights from the world’s best surf scribes, often cover mounted with a DVD and the only Australian surf mag with a complete digital presence, there’s no doubt why Surfing Life has been at the forefront of surf media for over two 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.

ISSUE 372: SPRING

WITH SPENCER FROST • Our global ocean community brims with unexpected characters. Sometimes, they’re famous. Most times, they’re more knowledgeable than us. Ofttimes, they glimpse into what’s coming: lines on surfing’s horizon. Forecast predicts a future event or trend; we yarn with award-winning filmmaker Spencer "Spenny" Frost as he peers into the distance.
