Surfer Magazine Vol 53 #7 - August, 2012

Description: Surfer Magazine Vol 53 #7 - Published in 2012 by GrindMedia - 140 pages (with numerous color and black & white photos) - EXCELLENT 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 EXCELLENT condition. No collection of surfing magazines is complete without this one. Check out the scan for the great cover.
