People. Culture.
Travel. Art.
We 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.

purist print energy
More book than magazine, TSJ is sheet-fed, square-bound, and smythe sewn. Delivered direct to mailboxes globally, the ultimate print expression of the topic is available in surf shops, premium retailers, boutique hotels, and curated bookstores.
Every issue is manufactured to standards established and monitored by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC Certified).
purpose driven
TSJ is a proud member of 1% for the Planet, donating 1% of total sales to nonprofit partners preserving oceanic and environmental resources. To date, the program has certified over $700 million in donations worldwide.
We also support the Surfrider Foundation, the Surfing Heritage & Culture Center, and the CA Surf Museum.
“…a surf-centric cross between National Geographic and Architectural Digest. A minimalist cover. A flat binding meant to stack or shelve. Deep stories, beautiful photography. An aura of timelessness.”

Commercially Quiet
We partner with a deliberate few—ensuring each 140-page issue is almost entirely editorial. TSJ is made possible with sponsorship from Patagonia, Rainbow Sandals, Vans, FCS, YETI, Howler Brothers, Finisterre and Outerknown.
