Casi todo listado suele pecar de incompleto. Aunque arbitrarias, las listas por lo menos sirven a modo de panorama y como un buen punto de partida por donde comenzar. A continuación, algunas revistas de surf distribuidas en variados rincones del mundo…
Elaborado por allsurfmagazines.com – web dedicada a la identificación y seguimiento de revistas de surf-, el listado recorre unas cuantas revistas de surf procedentes de distantes países, incluyendo publicaciones regulares editadas en EE.UU., Argentina, Australia, Japón, Nueva Zelanda, España, Costa Rica o Francia.
Si bien una de las primeras publicaciones orientadas al surf fue la australiana The Surf en 1917, las revistas de surf nacieron como tales a mediados del siglo XX con la emblemática Surfer Magazine, publicación mensual de California fundada en 1959, sólo precedida por unas pocas publicaciones surferas de breve existencia.
Desde entonces, han aparecido y desaparecido un montón de publicaciones de surf, sobreviviendo algunas unos pocos años o debiendo incorporar otros deportes y tópicos sobre olas, como el bodyboard, windsurf y kiteboarding.
Hoy las ediciones impresas se encuentran en inevitable declive, arrastradas por las amplias redes de Internet. “La forma antigua de hacer revistas ha terminado. Una revista mensual tenía sentido antes de Internet. Ya no más. Lo impreso es un nicho, como los LP de vinilo…”, dijo a Surfline el historiador Matt Warshaw, autor de Enciclopedia del Surfing y la , en referencia al reciente cierre de la mítica revista Surfing Magazine (1964-2017).
Sin embargo, muchas han logrado sobrevivir al paso del tiempo, mudándose y adaptándose al medio digital, como Surfer (1959), Surfing World (1962), Tracks (1970), Australia Surfing Life (1985) o Surf Portugal (1987), entre otras.
Estas son sólo algunas revistas de surf. Algunas de ellas aún continúan su camino, mientras que otras tantas perduran en el recuerdo:
