Subscribe to the new Surfing World

Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Reddit

Your subscription not only supports the oldest continually published surf mag in the world, but it’s a contribution to keeping surf culture alive. Surfing World is published independently and showcases the talents of surfers, photographers, writers and artists… and your subscription helps them keep the wolves from the door, and helps keep the culture vibrant.

Surfing World is being published independently by Jon Frank and Sean Doherty, two surf mag lifers. They have form. Frank is the Godfather of high-art surf photography. Seano is on a million-word surf story bender. They both hold a deep respect for surfing. Surfing World is a passion project for them. They’ve inherited a sense of duty. A surfing elder summed it up to them this way: “Make something beautiful that really says something.”

The things that have made Surfing World such a cultural flame over the decades are all still there. The magazine is a pure take on surfing. It’s a big statement on the Australian coastline and the characters who live there… the big names and ones you’ve never heard of, all interesting cats. It’s wild and from the heart. It’s independent and inclusive. We don’t really have a demographic. If you love surfing you’re in.

Likewise, while we’re a magazine, our ideas and stories transcend the medium. Our content lives between print, online and socials. We’re printing 166-page quarterly magazines, with content flowing through surfingworld.com.au between issues. It’s premium editorial. The best writers and photographers in the country are on the books.

But while Surfing World remains an Australian legend, it has also changed. The surfing world has changed. With some bad craziness out there in the real world and surfing more than ever acts as an easy counterpoint to that. Surfing’s place in the world has never been clearer. Surfing matters right now and needs to be heard.

Channelling the great eras of the great mags, the new Surfing World has a voice. We talk about surfing and we talk about the world. Big conversations being led by surfers on social and environmental issues. There’s a young surfing movement out there that cares deeply about this stuff, and SW will be their voice.

Beyond that the new owners really want to do something good with Surfing World. We want to run it as a giant community project. We want Surfing World to celebrate surfing culture but also give something back to it.

  • From SW417… “You Can’t Kill An Idea… and the floods started our minds flowing” by @jedaum_smith.

“When compassion is your compass, everything is so simple. The only question is how can I help? And the answer always comes swiftly. There is no room for ego in a mass upwelling of service and selflessness. When everyone pulls in the same direction, it becomes an unstoppable force of its own and you realise beyond any doubt, feel in every cell of your body, what the true meaning of life is, what is really possible, and what governments the world over are so desperate to keep secret. That they are little more than an obstruction to the people’s potential to build utopia. That compassion and community are the currency, not cash. That the best outfit is the one caked in mud. That the best gift is love and kindness. That the best job is the most meaningful one. And the most meaningful one is that which has an immediate and tangible benefit for those around you. That materialism is no match for mateship. That consumerism is nothing compared to community. That contentment is camaraderie and shared experience. That the people united will never be defeated. That people power is the world’s greatest resource. That politicians are parasites, centralised government is an abject failure, and revolution is simply communities taking responsibility for themselves. Don’t wait for someone to the job for you. Change comes from the grassroots and moves up, not the other way round.”

  • Something special to open SW417. @deandampney spent the day with the legendary Ray ‘Gus’ Ardler, one of the original local Wreck Bay surfers. Ray recalls the early days of his mob paddling out and surfing Aussie Pipe. 

“It’s just Pipe. It was a dream come true for a lot of us. Because, you know, we’d see all these other guys come out, come down and go out, surfers. And we’d just sit down and dream of surfing the spot and having enough guts to get out there and try it. We lost a few brothers along the way. Every time I go out there, I sit in the cemetery, and I sit beside my mum and just look across the point. Because every time I look across the point I can see us all in the water enjoying ourselves. We’d laugh out there and carry on like lunatics.”

SW417 opens with “This is us. This is our spot. Why wouldn’t we wanna surf it!” with photos by the equally legendary @mick_mccormack

  • Antediluvian: we had to divide SW417 into two halves… before the floods and after the floods. Half the mag is green, half is brown. This was @mikeywright69 before the floods at Kirra, shot by @joshbystrom. The mag’s on sale now… get out and support independent surf culture.
  • From SW417, “Whatever You Want, Your Way: Life With Noa Deane.” by Nick Gibbs @mrfunpig 

@ilovetables: “I’m riding a lot of waves that are kind of boog waves so I see a lot of what they’re doing – mostly just surfing five hours until they’re so torched, eating a can of tuna and bolting to the next spot. They go ‘til they can’t, just living on tinned tuna. They’re nuts. I’m looking at the lines they take, the low lines into the pit, and especially the ‘one line’ approach to hitting huge sections. They sit and wait off the takeoff until there’s that one speed line to the giant ramp, and that what I’ve learned. To do the biggest airs, there’s no messing around with little turns before it. Wait, set that line, and hit it.” 📷 @philgallagherphoto @maguirejay_

  • Starting out as a surf band on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Midnight Oil changed Australia for the better and became the social conscience of not one generation here in Australia, but two or three. By the time you’ve read this however, Midnight Oil will have just about played their last live show. It’s a significant moment for a lot of people, least of them Peter Garrett. But the Oils aren’t going quietly. Their new album, Resist deals with issues of today – climate, Adani, Takayna – and is an acknowledgement that the fight never ends. @brettburcher interviews @peterrgarrett in SW417, on sale now, link in bio. 📷 Tony Mott
  • Is the lucky country running out of luck? We pulled Surfing World 417 together at a time when you had to seriously ask yourself the question. With the east coast underwater for much of summer – just two years after it had burned during the Black Summer fires – it felt like we were getting a glimpse into our future. Midnight Oil lyrics as prophecy. Mad Max as a documentary. Leadership has not only been absent, it’s felt like we’re being led back to the Stone Age. So for SW417 we talk the state of the nation. We’ve got longform interviews with @peterrgarrett, @otishopecarey, @nikkivandijk and @scottie.marsh. We’ve got definitive pieces on the Northern Rivers floods from @andysummons, @jedaum_smith and Pete Bowes. We’ve got the story of the original Wreck Bay surfing mob and we track down @ilovetables, who’s been living quietly and surfing large. SW417 is a statement piece and a mag for the time. On sale now, on the street or online, link in bio. @maxime.rayer 📷 @lucasalisburyphoto @childsphotos
  • From SW417, definitive longform coverage of the Northern Rivers floods by @andysummons: “I got a message from a mate, Simon, on Wednesday when he could finally get through floodwaters in Ocean Shores to get to the top of a hill and into phone reception. He said, “A few of us are heading out to Lismore to help some people do a bit of a clean-up. We have some spare seats if you’re free.” It doesn’t sound like much. A carload of mates with a trailer of shovels, brooms, rakes, gumboots, gloves, a wheelbarrow, some buckets and fresh water. No one really knew it at the time, but the same thing was happening with thousands of other people up and down the coast and across the Northern Rivers. The result was a people’s army – the Mud Army.” 📷 @childsphotos @nataliegrono @andysummons
  • SW417 goes on sale today and asks just how lucky the Lucky Country really is. With the east coast underwater for much of summer, we check out the state of the nation and ask some big questions. We’ve got interviews with @peterrgarrett, @otishopecarey @nikkivandijk and @scottie.marsh. We’ve got a Mud Army special on the Northern River floods by @andysummons, and open the mag with a special piece on the original Wreck Bay surfing mob, written by the legendary Ray Ardler. It’s 180 pages of raw Australian surfing… and possibly the brownest surf mag ever published. Check it out and support independent Australian surf print. @maxime.rayer on the cover, photo by @lucasalisburyphoto
