‘People. Culture. Travel. Art.’
A visual ode to surf culture, The Surfer’s Journal pairs world class photography with stories, art and personalities from across the sport. This issue features an interview with Chris Miller, a hobbyist surfer and pioneering skateboarder boasting a four decade long career that began following a move from California to Claremont in the 1980’s; archival snapshots of post-war Malibu; a 26-page profile and conversation with ‘the famously elusive surf god’ Dane Reynolds; a feature on Marrawah landscape painter Zoe Grey, exploring how the tide is changing for Tasmanians following recent cultural recognition—with a marked ‘shift in how mainland Australians see Tasmania’; and, a portfolio of Jack Johns’ dramatic photographs of the Cornish coast.
On the cover: ‘A study in midcentury trim through the archivist’s eye of John E.O. Larronde’ by Grant Ellis.
