WAX Magazine

Aeriel Brown, along with two other like minded surfer (slash) city dwellers, are preparing to launch a bi-annual magazine for urban surfers. The publication, entitled WAX, will explore the intersection of art, culture and surfing in and around New York City. According to Brown, "the idea (more or less) is to make a magazine for the surf set found in the city. At our local breaks, we find the people we meet are artists, architects, writers — and often the leaders in their fields — and we wanted a publication that spoke directly to them." Their first issue will feature interviews with filmmaker Mikey DeTemple, artists Garth Weiser, Danny Gordon, Ann Pibal and Ann Woo and writer Michael Scott Moore, among others. Brown and her constituents have launched a Kickstarter campaign to help fund their project and have already raised roughly half of their goal. Additional information is available here.
