After one year at the helm of Water Magazine, writer and editor Joel Patterson has left to become editor-in-chief at Surfer Magazine, according to sources close to the deal.
Former Surfer Editor Chris Mauro will reportedly be transitioning into the position of global editor at the end of August, and Patterson will officially step in on September 1, 2008.
Patterson, the former editor of Transworld Skateboarding and Transworld Surf, brings a boatload of editing experience to the task. We’re looking forward to seeing what he does with the surf world’s “bible.”
