3 Issue Special – 421, 422, 423

Surfing World issue 423 leads off with a 50-page tribute to surfing icon, Mark Occhilupo. To mark the 25th anniversary of Occy’s world title, we tell one of surfing’s greatest comeback stories, from the world title he should have won as a 17-year-old in 1984, to the title he finally won in 1999, from his lowest points to his highest. We chat to Molly Picklum about the day women’s surfing changed, we talk with Emi Erickson and Beau Foster, and we have an exclusive, personal account of Kelly Slater’s final Bells Beach Easter event after 32 years.

Surfing World's summer issue is packed with deep dive reading for the holidays. We open with two very different Indonesian travel stories – a modern and a classic. We open with a strike mission to one of Indonesia's last great secret waves, then go back 30 years to the discovery of maybe Indo's greatest wave.

On the back of our 60th anniversary issue which sold out the print run, SW421 features the best stories and images from the peak Australian winter surf season.
