After 23 years immersed in surf publications and 10 years as our Editor, Cory Scott takes the reign of the 33-year legacy in NZ Surfing Magazine.
I often look back and reflect on where I’ve come from, and by way of a chance meeting with surf, how it moulded my life. I grew up in a neighbourhood where nobody had ever heard of surfing let alone practised it. But at the age of 12 by way of the curve balls that life throws at people and families, I experienced my first encounter with these creatures known as surfers and on the same day swam in a wave filled ocean for the first time, I felt its power and it instantly grabbed me. Somehow for someone that had never grown up with this element in his life that’s all I now wanted. I never wanted this feeling to fade and I was going to do whatever it took to have that feeling permanently engrained into my life.
