An Original Surfing Magazine Back Issue, Feb/Mar 1973
This is a genuine printed copy of the Feb/Mar 1973 issue of Surfing Magazine, sold as an original piece of surf print history rather than a reprint.
What You're Getting
The listing is for the physical Feb/Mar 1973 issue itself. As with any vintage periodical, condition can vary copy to copy, so treat this as a collectible item first and a reading copy second.
Who This Is For
Surf history buffs, longtime readers who want to fill a gap in their collection, and anyone building out a beach house or shop wall with authentic surf culture ephemera will get the most out of this issue. It also makes a distinctive gift for a surfer who has been riding waves long enough to remember when magazines like this were the only way to see what was happening in the sport.
Caring for a Vintage Issue
Old magazines are fragile. Keep this issue out of direct sun and humidity, store it flat rather than rolled, and slide it into a protective sleeve if you plan to keep it long term rather than read it often. Humidity is hard on paper stock, so a dry, air conditioned space will keep the pages from curling or yellowing further.
