From castles made of sand to LSD, from French realist painter Gustave Courbet (1819–1877) to nude beaches, from flint to quantum physics, and from rising seas to the oceanic feeling, this seventh issue of ‘Acid Magazine’ follows the perfect wave as the outlines blur, the noise grows louder, and it finally fractures. The magazine engages with surfing as a field of reflection, or an excuse for digression, exploring oceanic cultures, their complexity and tensions, and their often blurred connections to the activity and philosophy of surfing. With contributions by Lea Colombo, Wes Waddell, Surf Ghana Collective, Thomas Mailaender, Myriam Santos, Paul Grund, and others.
