roadies<br />

The anticipation that comes with strapping your board to the roof and<br />

cramming into a car with your mates in search of the perfect break is a<br />

timeless tradition of surfing. The surfing road trip was first celebrated with the<br />

release of Surfing Roadies — a book compiled by Chris Tola, John Warning,<br />

and Brian Birkefeld back in 2017. It featured a wonderful compilation of stories<br />

about hitting the bitumen in search of swell.<br />

Well, we’re pleased to hear Chris and the boys are back for round two and are<br />

calling for those 'chronologically challenged surfers' with interesting stories,<br />

anecdotes, and pictures to share relating to surfing road trips from back in<br />

the day circa 1940 to the late 1980’s. Keen to help preserve this fascinating<br />

part of surfing history, they are seeking submissions that must be 'mostly true,<br />

believable, and interesting' with a suggested length of around 300 words.<br />

Successful contributors will have their story published and acknowledged<br />

within this second iteration of Surfing Roadies. The forthcoming edition will be<br />

solely available in <strong>digital</strong> form. Those interested are requested to submit their<br />

story to surfingroadie@gmail.com by July 1, 2024.<br />
