As a kid from Punchbowl, I wasn’t your typical surfer, but I still became mad obsessed with the sport.

One of my fondest childhood memories was heading to my local news agency to pick up a surf magazine. Surf media has evolved significantly since those days, far beyond those paper magazines.

It was great chatting with the co-founder of Stab Mag Sam McIntosh to dive deeper into the surfing world.

We discussed his family's impactful move from inland to the coast during his youth, his beginnings working at surf magazines, a crucial book project with Taj Burrow that was a career turning point, the origins of Stab Magazine, the craziness that exists in the surf industry, the creative process behind Stab''s projects, our shared love for risk-taking and much more.
