They don’t go online to check out handguns; they check to see when the next swell is coming. Surfing occupies the mind in constructive ways.
Surfing keeps kids off the streets. It gives them something to think about that’s not destructive in nature. They don’t go online to check out handguns; they check to see when the next swell is coming. Surfing occupies the mind in constructive ways.
Teaching your kids to surf is a special thing. You know how much they’re going to enjoy the first time they stand up and you’re going to be the one who gave them that experience. That’s a special feeling, knowing that you’re the one who showed them what surfing is.
Tell your kids about your own mistakes and weaknesses. Some parents find that hard to do because they think that admitting they’ve made mistakes reduces their esteem in the eyes of their kids. Be big enough to realize that in sharing your past, you might save them from having to go through a similar experience.

60 Years Ahead
We had a whole plan for this year. Funny, right? Surfer's 60 year anniversary volume was going to be filled with stories nodding to SURFER’s past, with cover concepts paying homage to the magazine’s most iconic imagery. Our new Page One depicts something that’s never happened in surfing before, let alone on a prior SURFER cover. And our table of contents was completely scrapped and replaced as we reacted to the fizzing, sparking, roiling world around us. In other words, 2020 happened to SURFER, just like it happened to you.
