SURF's Up!

“I took off on a bigger one. The bowl broke in front of me and planted me on the bottom through two waves. I saw stars, said my goodbyes and passed out… But somehow held my breath until I broke the surface.” – John Severson, founder of Surfer magazine. Read more about this the lifelong surfer and pioneering artist, designer, filmmaker and publisher who died last month at the age of 73, here. According to the Encyclopedia of Surfing, “before John Severson, there was no ‘surf media,’ no ‘surf industry’ and no ‘surf culture’—at least not in the way we understand it today.”
