The Surfer's Journal is the definitive publication in surfing — a bimonthly magazine founded in 1992 by Steve and Debbee Pezman in San Clemente, California, that treats surfing as a culture, an art form, and a way of life rather than a sport to be scored. Steve Pezman had previously served as publisher of Surfer Magazine and believed that surfing deserved a publication with the production values, literary ambition, and visual seriousness of the finest art and photography journals.
Each issue features long-form writing, extraordinary photography, and historical features that document surfing from its Polynesian roots to its contemporary global practice. The photography is printed with meticulous care on heavy stock, and the writing comes from some of the best surf writers and journalists working today. The magazine is advertising-light and editorially independent, funded by a readership that values quality over quantity.
More than three decades into its run, The Surfer's Journal has become the archival record of surfing culture — a publication that future generations will turn to when they want to understand what surfing meant in our time. For surfers who want their culture documented with the same depth and beauty they find in the ocean, this is the journal that has been doing it longer and better than anyone else.
