Wavelength Surf Magazine – since 1981

Five Reasons To Subscribe To Wavelength

Wavelength is Europe’s longest-running surf publication, in print since 1981.

While the format has evolved constantly over the last 38 years, in 2019 we’re still as dedicated as ever to providing top-drawer surf storytelling you can hold in your hands.

Each of our bi-annual offerings contain 144 pages of timeless long-form content, reaching into every corner of surf culture.

Nowadays, these editions sit much closer to a book than mere magazine, with our dedication to unparalleled design and world-class imagery converging to create a publication worthy of a place on your coffee table.

Inside each you’ll find a carefully curated selection of thought-provoking stories that use surfing as a springboard to explore so much more than the act of riding waves.

Whether you’re new to our publication or have been a casual reader for decades, here are five more reasons to subscribe to our print editions today:

You’re supporting independent publishing

While partnerships with core brands help make our print editions possible, our editorial allegiance remains resolutely with the reader. We decide what stories to tell, and what images to include and we base these decisions purely on what we know will connect with you. This independence allows us to offer our network of talented contributors the creative freedom they need to flourish and ensures the words you read are never censored by commercial bias.

Get Free Chocolate, Coffee, Socks and more

Everyone loves a welcome gift, so we’ve teamed up with some of our favourite brands to offer subscribers a variety of goodies to choose from. Right now you can get 4 bars of Tony’s Chocolonely, 2 bags of Caravan Coffee Roasters coffee, a pair of WL X Arvin Goods socks or an Uppercut Deluxe grooming set when you sign up for a full year.

Save yourself the faff

Do you really need another thing on your to-do list? A subscription allows you to scrub off a trip to the shop and let the postman do the work. Plus, each edition will plop through your door (with the postage on us) before it lands on the shelves.

Don’t be tied down

Don’t like the idea of paying upfront for the year? No problem, we’ve got an issue by issue auto-pay subscription just for you. Sign up now and enjoy all the benefits of an annual subscription, including free postage, safe in the knowledge you can cancel anytime (although we’re pretty sure you won’t want to.)
