‘Surf? Yes, but no’
Acid is a non-traditional surf magazine, looking at the wider world through the lens of surfing. Beautifully designed, this first issue for several years is packed with responses to the question ‘What is Surf?’
The issue compares surfing to other sports, cultures and artistic practices; examines surfing’s symbols, words and artifacts; and plays with its image, legends and representations. What it lacks in action shots set in the surf, it makes up for with a high-speed adrenalin rush of stories accompanied by impressionistic photography and illustration.
