For as much grief as we’ve given print magazines recently there is no arguing with the legacy that is Surfer Magazine.
When John Severson launched his magazine in 1960 (as a program for his movie Surf Fever) he basically created the action sports magazine genre and all of us have been living in his shadow ever since. Shockingly, that was 50 years ago.
To celebrate this historic milestone in surfing and media, the surf world is getting together in Oceanside, California on November 21, 2009 for the Surfer Magazine 50 Year Anniversary Tribune.
The Surfer Magazine 50 Year Anniversary Tribute will bring together generations of Surfer Magazine editors, publishers, photographers, and surf pros presenting its story in a varieity of media showcasing the rich history of the magazine and the sport.
The event begins at 8 PM Saturday, Nov. 21th at the Grace Theater, Oceanside. Tickets are $25 for members $35 for non-members. But the real party will be the exclusive VIP reception at the California Surf Museum starting at 6 PM. Click the link for all the details.
