SW FOR THE THRILL OF THE RIDE
NEW ISSUE ON SALE NOW!!!
Collectable Double Covers By Martyn Worthington and Oscar Wright

An entire surfing magazine filled with nothing but surfing? What a concept! SW has always endeavored to respect the culture and lifestyle of riding waves and our new issue marks an even more focused effort to bring you the best mag on the planet. We hunted around close to home for hidden gems to reinvigorate your surfing. We explored the positive influence surfing is having on Indigenous communities. We scored sick waves in Samoa and caught up everyone from Mick Fanning to Nat Young. And we uncovered the best images of the past two months and displayed them cover-to-cover in all their pristine glory. If you’ve grown tired of surfing magazines being little more than poorly designed advertising catalogues the new SW will not only inspire you to return to the printed page but also help to bring a little mystique and stoke back to your own surfing experience. Check it out. You won’t be disappointed.
