Tracks (magazine)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tracks is a monthly Australian surf magazine, promoting itself as "the surfer's bible".
It was established in October 1970 by Alby Falzon, starting as a kind of counter-culture tabloid, printed on cheap paper and produced on Queensland's Gold Coast. Since then it's grown to be a major surfing publication. Over the years its editors have included:
- Alby Falzon
- Phil Jarratt
- Sean Doherty
- Luke Kennedy (present editor)
In the 1970s Tracks published a cartoon series about a surfing pig of steel, Captain Goodvibes, by Australian cartoonist Tony Edwards. Goodvibes became an icon of Australian surfing culture.
