Which Mag Do you read?

Postby globesurfer » Tue Apr 05, 2005 6:38 am

Which surfing magazine do you read?

I read waves, but havent read many others.

These might nust be Australian, i dunno

I aint even heard of msot of these mags, but a mag is a mag so I thought I should add quite a few

I made a poll but it said I had to many options, so jsut say which one and yeah

I read WAVES -- got a subscription a few days ago.. and u get a fre DVD... either Step Into Liquid, Bounce, or The Billabong Odyssey

I chose the bilabong odessey because I already have step into liquid

It's been a fair while since I read a surfing magazine but the favorite for me would be surfers path. I am interested in different spots, travelling and off the beaton track kind of stuff - surfers path provides this. I am not really interested in the pros of who has one what contests.
My vote - Surfers Path.

ooh i like carve, its been ages since a longboard special so ive not read it in a while. which is the realy costly one? surfers path or surfers journal? the cheaper one (still horrendously over priced) is made of recylcled paper, i like that. but i prefer the very spensive one.

its one of those magazines which is aimed at the surfer with a bit more soul and compassion and one of its great marketing features is the fact that it is eco-freidly by being printed on recycled paper therefore futher pushing its image as an enviromentaly minded magazine.

It definatley depends on what you want to read really..
I read ASL,Tracks,Waves,SW all of which are unreall... the guys at ASL are funny as and full out the best one liners.. always has me in fits of laughter. SW is great for interviews and has awesome photo spread.
