“The romanticism of nostalgia is a part of who we are. Always one eye fixed on what fate awaits us, while the other longs for times past, peering back at a history of emptier waves and ‘simpler times’. I propose we should see the roots of our history for the mirror it is, not only presenting to us our beautiful growth, but what lies ahead and ultimately the lessons we are yet to master on transformations we should be seeking. With this at the forefront of my mind, I am honoured to guide you as we venture through all that has come to be in our little cold corner of the globe. A place where surfing can sometimes be left behind when more alluring sun-drenched destinations flirt with our desires.” - Bella Rose Bunce, Editor.

Surfing is more than a sport—it’s a way of life, deeply intertwined with the places, people, and histories that shape us. In this issue, we dive into the roots of UK and Irish surf culture, uncovering stories of resilience, transformation, and the ever-changing tides of our cold-water communities.

Surf magazines are more than just pretty pictures on paper. They are a place for us to celebrate what we love, a place to honour those before us and sing about those pathing the way ahead. Print allows us to sit, take a moment, breathe and soak in all that is around us, without the distractions of our doom scrolling thumbs.
