Stringermag is here to remind surfers that they matter; like, a lot. The cadenced chaos of a peak chalk-full of core lords, a sandbagger's life funded by suburban parents and a little tech sales cash, and a creator's world where pros make money selling gambling ads to minors on Youtube.
"This sport has changed, man."
The themes around our sport are ever ebbing (heh), and with change, comes a stimulating conversation. We're here to engage the thoughts you've all been thinking, in as playful a manner as you interpret. Let's have fun, let's laugh at ourselves, and let's finally admit that Brazzo's surf better than us.
Stefan Thomas Hall is Stringer's editor-in-chief. He is college educated, has an extensive tenure in fintech, and reads about a book a year. Throw him off the bridge you say? Stefan is a Bay Area local who frequents the avenues of Ocean Beach. He is one of the greatest f*cking surfers on this g*ddamn planet, so tread lightly in the water when you see him. He has 2 gold earrings in his left ear. Need I continue?
