Shot during the filming of \'Surf Forever,\' with striking Hawaiian and California images blending raw wave power with surfing\'s emerging grace. What began as a film promotional piece evolved into his 1962 publication of SURFER Magazine - surfing\'s first dedicated periodical.
This collector\'s piece captures surfing\'s golden age through the lens of one of its most influential figures.\" Severson\'s artistic vision and intimate knowledge of surf culture shaped how the world would view the sport for generations to come.
This magazine is in good condition and very hard to find, even this1973 reprint. The cover has no scratch marks, holes or tears. There is very minimal edge wear but several crease marks are present along the binding. A tiny white spot on the cover appears to be in the original photo. Inside all pages are present, undamaged and unmarked. (See photos provided or contact me with questions.)
With its nostalgic content and historical significance, this reprinted edition is highly sought after by collectors. It would be a valuable addition to any surf enthusiast\'s collection, offering a glimpse into the origins of surfing as a popular activity and lifestyle.
