Surf Visuals Information

Founded in Melbourne, Surf Visuals is an online and print surf publisher. We pride ourselves on unearthing the best independent surf photographers and creatives from all corners of the globe, in weekly online publications and biannual issues with over 180+ pages of original content. Receiving a huge number of submissions daily, Surf Visuals features surf content captured on a myriad of mediums, from old-school film photography to modernised, abstract surf scenes captured on modern DSLR’s. Surf Visuals has been designed to be more of a community than anything else, where anyone can stumble across our issues, website or social accounts and feel connected with the creators. We build and maintain close relationships with everyone who submits work with us. To date, we’ve released three premium biannual issues, which are available via our website and select, specialist surf retailers around the world. Across the issues, we’ve featured the work of over 60 creatives including Alan Van Gysen, Ed Sloane, Cait Miers, Amy Markham and Hayden O'Neill. On top of this, we run an annual photo competition with $6k worth of cash and prizes to be given away - there's no wonder why it's a huge hit with our community. We’re proud to have partnered with leading brands, including URBNSURF, Rip Curl, Gage Roads Brewing Co, Qantas and Eat Your Water, which has helped expand our reach more quickly than we could have imagined. Our latest collaborative project saw us partner with URBNSURF, focused on celebrating 12 shapers pushing boundaries on Victoria’s iconic Surf Coast (Behind The Shaper). Accompanying this zine is a 6-episode mini-series by Lipped, The Surfer’s Podcast, as well as a sold out (400 person capacity) exhibition in Melbourne CBD.
