At first glance, the wave looks perfect: a flawless curve, a red sun on the horizon. But then the image cracks. The outlines blur, the noise grows louder, and behind the postcard, reality breaks through. Surfing is raw, fragile, fascinating.
Acid Magazine #7 dives into these fractures, exploring oceanic cultures and their complex ties to surfing. From castles made of sand to LSD, from Gustave Courbet to nude beaches, from flint to quantum physics, from rising seas to the oceanic feeling, this issue journeys through 26 stories that place surfing in its socio-economic, historical, and cultural context.
More than a magazine about waves, Acid is a prism through which society itself can be observed, celebrating those who take risks, break myths, and imagine alternative worlds.
