On the cover: Eithan Osborne, apex phase, Indonesia. “He had a career session that day,” says photographer Duncan Macfarlane.

In this issue, The Surfer's Journal views the stills of a revered auteur, report from the Baltic Sea, camp in South Africa, and study the open-ocean exploits and innovations of a Garden Isle surfer/navigator. Follow the unadulterated tracks of an Australian modern classicist, examine the compulsive need for waves, hook big bass in Middle America with a Hawaiian shredder, and more. Pick up TSJ 35.3 for the full 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.
