Something’s Different…WTF!?
Introducing the new Surfermag.com
Where were you when the new Surfermag.com went live? We are here. Photo: Ellis
Something’s different. How observant of you. Yes, something has changed. Looks good doesn’t it? No, it looks great.
Simplified. Cleaner. Easier to navigate. What’s not to like? Ok, so we may be biased because we’ve been slaving for months to get this site ready for you. Sure, there may be some bugs, but truth be told, the old site had bugs and it was live in all it’s anxiety-inducing glory for over two years.
So enjoy the new (and dare I say, improved) Surfermag.com and if you find a bug, please report it to the new guy, Todd (todd@surfermag.com), who’s existing on a diet of caffeine and html—he’ll make it right.
Now, off you go, shoo shoo, go check out the site. May I suggest you begin with Shea Lopez’s Pipe Masters preview or Chris Burkard’s California gallery from the air? It’ll have you pining for days when waves actually broke along the California coastline. Otherwise, prepare for that distant swell by reading Greg Long’s survival tips.
And don’t forget to watch the Surfer Poll on Monday exclusively at Surferpoll.com. We’ll have all the highlights for you here on Tuesday.

Saw the new mag this morning. New layout is great. Website too. It’s nice to see someone with a sense for good design getting a chance to express it. Keep it up.

ditto on the need for forecasting. I only come to your site because you took WaveWatch which was excellent for my planning for future sessions. Now what??!! I hope your new tool is just as good at looking several days out. email me went it’s up. or put up a big GRAND OPENING banner when you have it ready.

Surfer editorials will expose corruption in coming months?
Pointing fingers is always an interesting read.

Umm where’s the surf forecast? The only reason I visited the site in the first place.

Brendon. This looks great.

Without the surf forecast…there is no reason to visit your site.
Bring it back ASAP…everyone I know visits for the forecast, then gets stuck on the site reading the other shit.
where else can i know whats going to happen 5 days out…without making Sean Collins richer.
