Surfer Magazine Vol 53 #4 - April, 2012 - The Science of Surf Edition

Description: Surfer Magazine Vol 53 #4 - The Science of Surf Edition - Published in 2012 by GrindMedia - 116 pages (with numerous color and black & white photos) - Very good condition. Surfer Magazine was founded in 1962 by surfer-writer John Severson (1933-2017), a high school teacher from Pasadena. In 1960, after shooting two movies, he designed The Surfer, a black-and-white, 36-page booklet that was supposed to be used to promote his latest film, "Surf Fever." But the marketing book was an instant success, selling 5,000 copies. This led Severson to create The Surfer Quarterly in 1961. One year later, the entrepreneur introduced color pages, and the title increased its publishing schedule to bimonthly. By the mid-1960s, Surfer was already the authoritative voice in surf media. As the magazine grew in popularity, John Severson hired several professionals that would establish the publication as the ultimate surf magazine. In 1972, Severson sold the magazine to For Better Living Inc. and Steve Pezman, who would later found The Surfer's Journal, was named editor and remained with Surfer Magazine for two decades. Throughout its history, "The Bible of the Sport" welcomed several iconic names of the surf media world. Matt George, Matt Warshaw, Phil Jarratt, Kevin Naughton, Ben Marcus, Derek Hynd wrote legendary stories, while Art Brewer, Jeff Divine, Ted Grambeau, Tom Servais, and Warren Bolster illustrated the magazine with timeless photos. Surfer Magazine ceased publication in 2020. See the scan for the contents of this issue. There is only some very minor wear, but this magazine is still in very nice condition. No collection of surfing magazines is complete without this one. Check out the scans for the great cover and the contents. You can try to buy this magazine for less money from one of those eBay sellers with hundreds, if not thousands of negatives (you know the ones I refer to) and be lucky if the magazine is delivered to you in the stated condition (if you even get it at all), or you can buy it from me and be assured of a prompt delivery and of receiving an item true to the condition indicated.
