The Surfer's Journal 32.5

On the cover: Maritime idyll in French Polynesia. “Well, it’s all the same, the surfing and the sailing,” said Phil Edwards to TSJ co-founder Steve Pezman in 1973. “They’re all nature’s free ride.” Photograph by Kirvan Baldassari.

In this issue, we go berth to berth on four separate voyages with surfer/sailors, pin two-strokes through the desert, and examine a self-taught artist’s mixed-media rodeos. We also tap into the mindset of a seven-time world champion, explore Long Island through the lens of a New York nomad, and drift into an assemblage of on-wave stimuli and peripherals from the best shooters in the game. Hop aboard.
