John McCain is not alone, too many are missing out on the possibilities of web surfing. This is the easy way to get a big slice of stoke: Go through these E-mags. There are so many philthy surf videos, galleries, stories and info from around the world waiting for a light click.
These homepage 6 are just the start of the full rack. We put these mags up front to give new visitors a quick look at what's available to spock in the surf world. 2 are the E versions of the solid standards: Surfer and Surfing. 2 are Surfers Village productions: Global Surf News and SV. Surfers Village has a broader focus in news and other features. ASP World Tour is, natch, the pro surf news. And the 6th is our favorite Hawaii local, Surf News Network.
Right now, there are fresh videos of cryin' shame, J-bay waves and the contest rides. Surfer, Surfing and ASP are serving them up.
These are examples of the more mainstream Ezines. There are others that are expressions of the spirit through the sport and how stoke may take over your life. Have a look at the full rack.

Just What We Always Wanted
Surfing the surf sites and retrieving wave and weather information should be free and easy. We've had to wait as the technology developed and the possibilities multiplied. Each year has brought new surfing e-zines, more free surf cams, surf sites with specific interests, and a much wider and connected world of surfers. And, you can easily see, much more is coming at an increased pace.
Years ago, a few surfers in Hawaii, tired of trying to fish through the addresses for free, quality surf sites, decided to put together SurfersD. We focused, first, on setting up quick links to the unequaled wave forecaster, wave and tide buoys, satellite images, and a few million dollars worth of other equipment provided by NOAA and Scripps. We depended on this system to get us to the best surf and give us solid predictions for the week. Our current conditions and forecaster links all this stuff up, so we can go through the information quickly.
If you try searching through the information without the link-throughs, you'll age visibly. Thank you, Paul, our webmaster.
Now that more and more cams are coming on line, we're setting them up so they can be coupled with the statistical information. It's only going to get better.
I'm amazed at how many old dudes, like me, will look at our homepage 6, E-zines and only recognize our old, paper favorites; Surfer and Surfing. Still great in electrical pulse, but check out Global Surf News, Surfers' Village and the rest. Then click to the full rack. You can go round the world. We've included a few smaller sites, because they have a focus that the big E-zines have a hard time capturing. Some new ones come in > old ones drop out. We'll keep fishing.
We've archived so many great surf photos and videos; so have a few other top photographers and videographers. Check the menus.
From the re-emergence of surfing in the past century, there has been an issue about the place of contests in our sport. Some of the smaller E-zines and sites are carrying the discussion to all shores. There are so many requests for contest use of the North Shore of O'ahu, the state and county are having to limit the permits, increasingly. Everywhere, uncrowded surf is history. Oil rigs, (future) siting wave electric generators, roadways, shoreline development, erosion... plenty more; We have a lot to do to give the next generation of surfers a chance to enjoy what we love.
