With the massive expansion of world media, AUTHENTICITY reigns as a defining element. In a “sea of sameness” accelerated by digital media, Freesurf Magazine stands unique.

While all the retail shops promote a diverse array of certain brands and products, there is ONE element that unites all of the elements to create and reflect what we proudly call our surfing community.

All the different shops and companies are looking to promote and sell the products they carry, their athletes, events and vibe. Freesurf Magazine emerges as THE essential “back bone.” Freesurf Magazine is the common thread, the shared DNA, that sews together our culture.
