Encyclopedia
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.
