Welcome back Surfer magazine…

Welcome back Surfer magazine…

What took you so long?

Five years later and Surfer magazine are back in print, and we are stoked. It’s been too long.

In an age of quick clicks and pretty meaningless likes print still resonates and displays the awesome surf photography better than any other medium. As Kelly explains in Surfer mags post he still remembers his first mention in a mag.

“You try to get your first picture in the magazine, your first ad, your first full page. Try to get a spread or a poster or a cover. “It was such a thing to aspire to in surfing as a young guy coming up. I was so excited when I saw my name in there for the first time. It was an ESA result…second place, Central Florida. It made me feel like I was achieving something. You’re trying to do this little thing in your little town, and you get recognised around the world in the magazine you love.”

Likes last a day, print lasts forever.

Jake Howard of Surfer writes

“A huge thank you to Kelly, Carissa, Caity, and all the other surfers, writers, photographers, editors and creative folks that made this issue what it is. And thank you to all of the advertisers in the magazine. The surf industry is at a crossroads, and we’re honoured to be arm in arm with everyone making a rad surf magazine, celebrating our heroes and inspiring everyone to get out there and just go surfing—whatever that means to you.”

The US needed a print magazine. The creators, culture and industry needed a print magazine, and to see Surfer rising again, is pretty cool.

Good luck!

The new issue of SURFER will officially go on sale on August 23, 2024. Copies will be available online, as well as a fine retailers throughout the United States. More here

2025 Surf Coaching Clinic, Indonesia.

2025 Surf Coaching Clinic, Indonesia.

Macaronis Resort in the Mentawai Islands, looks and feels a bit like paradise, and the resort is hosting its intermediate surf coaching clinics for the 8th year running over 8 weeks from January 10th 2025 to March 7th 2025.

All of their surf coaches are ISA (International Surf Association) accredited, with the experience and qualifications to help you improve quickly, surf to your full potential and take on some of the worlds best waves. You can attend the course for as little as one week or the full eight weeks.

The carefully curated coaching sessions only host up to 8 surfers per coach and accommodation is limited to one surfer per room. Special guest and international surf coach, Dave Renaud will be heading up this experience. Dave is based in the UK, but regularly coaches in the Maldives. He is a Level 2 ISA surf coach, and has served as head coach for Great Britain and Team England for the past 10 years. These guys guarantee some of the best surf coaching out there!

Between January and March is a great time of year to visit the Mentawais, with very few other surfers around. Macaronis is also limiting participants to 20 surfers per week and the team make a special effort to explore neighbouring breaks. This way, guests and coaches can take turns surfing Macaronis and classic Southern Mentawai spots, ensuring the line-up always feels fresh and uncrowded.

Situated on a saltwater lagoon across the bay from the Legendary Macaronis wave, the set up is high quality comfort with the perfect activities list for any time away from the waves. You can kayak, paddle board, fish and snorkel the tropical waters. Suites are on the second floor, a few meters above sea level with open verandas and panoramic views of the ocean and saltwater lagoon.

The surf offering is an incredible experience that will make you feel like a pro. With Dave Renaud, two professional photographers, video playback and in and out of water coaching sessions you can be sure everything surfing is covered.

Indo Super Swell, Cooking Kandui

Indo Super Swell, Cooking Kandui

Kandui, located in the Mentawai Islands off the coast of Sumatra is widely known for its long, fast, and barreling left-handers, a magnet for travelling surfers seeking the wave of a lifetime. Both exhilarating and intimidating, breaking over a shallow coral reef, you can expect an equal share of pleasure and pain if it goes pear-shaped. This is a playground to very few, so respect the wave, the line-up and the surfers.

Hit play to see Koa Rothman rushing from Australia to Indonesia to score some of the biggest waves to hit Kandui in a decade with Eli Olson, Barron Mamia and Betet, enjoy.
