The Point - issue one

The Point - a quiet read in a noisy world

An independent, self-published magazine. 

The Point began with The Grand Tour, a six-month surf trip into Europe following the Atlantic coast. It expanded on this is what’s there and began asking why is it there? What is the impact? What is the wider story?

And what can I do to make change?

Congratulations on your first issue, and congratulations again on creating something I've read cover to cover which doesn't happen often with any magazine. A thoroughly refreshing change from surf magazines that are far more aspiration than inspiration and seemingly aimed at sub-thirty folk.

Great to read about surf heritage in the area and see these guys now. As an intermittent rather than intermediate surfer, and a far more accomplished photographer, I must say I loved the portraits and landscapes. Just shows you don't need people catching waves to convey an idyllic spot. If I could offer any criticism, I would say less quotes in essays, maybe pick one of two apt ones and be done.

I'll be looking out for further issues.

All the best,
