A reader-supported surf publication founded in 1992, The Surfer’s Journal is vivid, authoritative, and independent. The goal of each 132-page bimonthly edition? A completely resolved composition. Balance. Color. Story. And purist surf energy from Page One to close-of-book.
In addition to delivery direct to your door, you'll receive unlimited access to every article we've ever published and discounts on TSJ apparel, merchandise, accessories, and more.
Across surfing history there is often a Right Historical Side and a Wrong Historical Side. Drop-knee bodyboarder Paul Roach enjoyed world travel and Momentum fame but as his peers ascended, Roach hit a dead-end. Charlie Smith examines the uncalculated value of surfing’s evolutionary cul-de-sacs.
