Surfing magazines and the slow march into oblivion

Stu Nettle

As with the wider world, the internet is slowly democratising the surfing world, uncovering fresh elements that add depth and breadth and colour to the surfing life, and yet the magazines blindly continue with their insular fiefdoms of sponsor and celebrity. I'm tempted to say that unless something changes it will be the death of them. But that ain't necessarily so, at this pace irrelevance will creep up faster.
