The Surfer's Path
The Surfer's Path is an international surfing magazine which is published every two months. Founded in 1997, the magazine is a bit of an anomaly in the surf-publishing world. Based in the United Kingdom, the Path is low-key and philosophical. From the start, its Caribbean-born editor, Alex Dick-Read, aimed the mag at the environmentally and culturally conscious global surf traveler. With issue number 42 (May–June 2004), The Surfer’s Path became the first 100% "green" surf magazine – printed on 100-percent post-consumer recycled paper (processed without chlorine bleach) with non-GMO soy inks. Other mags may have recycled content, but only the Path is all post-consumer and chlorine-free. Originally part of the Permanent Publishing stable (alongside Whitelines Snowboard Magazine and Sidewalk Skateboard Magazine) the magazine is now owned by Factory Media and has its international headquarters in London, England. An American edition of the magazine was formerly edited by Drew Kampion from Washington State.
