International Surfing Magazine March 1970 Vol. 6 No. 1 – Hawaii First Swell in the Country
 
An original International Surfing magazine from March 1970, Vol. 6 No. 1, a desirable piece of early 1970s surf ephemera.
This issue captures the visual energy of the era with bold cover typography, strong interior photography, thoughtful surf writing, and period advertising. Cover lines include “Hawaii: First Swell in the Country,” “Rise From the Prison of Limitations,” and “Twilight’s Wave.”
The magazine also features a striking Coca-Cola back cover advertisement, adding to its display appeal for collectors of surfing, beach culture, and vintage advertising.
After decades in the vintage and paper collectibles trade, we can say these early surf titles continue to have a strong crossover market: surf collectors, photography collectors, sports paper buyers, and those decorating surf shops, beach homes, or themed spaces.
Condition
Good vintage condition with visible age and handling wear. Cover remains attractive, interiors show well, and the issue appears complete from the photos provided. There is spine stress/curling, light edge wear, corner wear, and minor toning consistent with age.
