On the cover: A study in midcentury trim through the archivist’s eye of John E.O. Larronde. Photograph by Grant Ellis/in situ photo and artifact courtesy of the Museum of Ventura County Larronde Collection.

In this issue, The Surfer's Journal pages through Lorronde’s photo albums documenting California waterfront culture dating back to the 1930s, then hang with Venturan zeitgeister Dane Reynolds and his acolytes, before cracking eggs with Skip Frye, Devon Howard, Marc Andreini, and other devotees to the design. They also get deep into the form and void of the tube, tool around the Dominican Republic, view the work of a Tasmanian abstractionist, and more. Pick up TSJ 35.1 for the whole trip.

The Surfer’s Journal is a truly unique periodical. It’s an independent take on the surfing experience with limited advertising, making each 140-page issue almost entirely editorial. They delve into topics that get little attention elsewhere, covering travel adventures, surfboard design, profiles of surfing’s most colorful subjects, and the choicest surf photography in every issue. Coupled with the premium construction, The Surfer’s Journal is a product that is peerless in its quality and content.
