Surfer Magazine pushing a narrative

It’s all virtual anymore. What time is high tide on Twitter?

I was never a member of The surfer forum but I always got a chuckle out of Greg griffin and company

That's right. Surfing is dead and Surfer killed. Fucking total irony.

That was sort of tongue in cheek. I still have a good time almost every time I paddle out but don't tell anyone

I realize that Sir.

Like nearly everything else in this world, how we experience surfing as a hobby, profession, sport or lifestyle, things have changed.

Drew Kampion, who makes the introduction in this video, was the most prolific writer of stories & articles ever found in any surfing publication. I haven't seen him since we both worked a brief time for O'neill in Santa Cruz circa 1980-81.

John was a visionary and gifted artist. He shared his STOKE generously, and made for the flavor of those times I will never forget.

Ah, Candy Calhoun of Mother Marge and sister Robin.

This also appeared in Surfer way back when. An ad of me sitting with my quiver of Owls

@ Santa Catalina, Panama circa early 70's before I handed off the reins to Marc. JC's ad below it with T Shirts for $6/50... woot! Those were the days!

Surfer magazine has turned into national inquirer over the years. I guess to receive advertisers funding, one has to take a knee, parroting the flavor of the day doctrine. I don't bother opening the cover whenever I'm at the bookstore, going straight for Surfers' Journal. I hope this one stays around though.
