In the 70s it was the controversial, broadsheet newspaper, which gave life and meaning to a surfing counterculture. In the 80s it was Tracks who eloquently chartered the salad days of pro surfing and the rise of the heroes who dominated the sport. Throughout the 90s Tracks rode the progressive evolution and led the way into new surfing frontiers. By the time Tracks celebrated its 40th year in 2010, the magazine had established itself as a national icon. In Australia’s short history no other publication or media entity has made such a significant a contribution to a subculture. Now, in its 51st year, Tracks continues to entertain and inform loyal readers while simultaneously introducing new followers to the brand that sets the agenda for Australian surfers.
