hey people

i'd like to get my boyfriend a year subscription to a surf magazine for christmas. which do you recommend or which do you think is the most interesting? it would have to be sent to germany monthly so it's best that it doesn't ship from the states or anything (cause of the shipping costs). i've never done this before as you can guess :D

can you help me?

thank you

My personal favourite is Wavelength Magazine.

Mainly because the pics are some of the best quality I've seen in mags.

If not maybe Surf Europe, which is always a great.

surf europe sounds cool and pretty cheap (28 euros for 8 numbers for germany) but the issues are from Mar-Dec right? meaning he would get one issue in Dec (no idea when it comes out) than nothing til march =) i might go for it anyway... i was also thinking something like Surfing Magazine http://www.surfingthemag.com/ but i'm not sure if monthly shipping is included in the 27$ price? do any of you have any experience in buying a gift subscription?

thanks guys :oops:
