Surfing World Issue 412

“When the world goes mad… go surfing.” A new era for Surfing World begins. New owners Sean Doherty and Jon Frank have pulled together a huge 164-page magazine capturing possibly the strangest year surfers will ever live through. While the rest of the world went batshit crazy, Australians went surfing. We ran out of surfboards, got stalked by sharks, and had a thousand surfs at our locals. Nick Carroll has written an epic on the wildest Sydney winter in living memory, while we take a lap of the country and talk surfing lives under lockdown. A landmark issue to mark a new era.
