Each issue our team hunts through the best submissions by our “A-grade” surf photographers from around the world. A magazine cover shot is the most coveted trophy for any photographer. With a glut in the digital market, photos get minimal view time. Having a photo published in print these days is a tough gig. So, we’re giving YOU the chance to be a part of SL history and see your photo feature in our glossy.

Surfing Life, like our name suggests, means we’re passionate about every aspect of a surfing life—waves, travel, surfers, lifestyle, technique or capturing surfing as you see it. If a picture is worth a thousand words … submit a photo that makes us speechless.
FREE Entry:
