MANIFEST

Manifest Vol 1

The Indies Trader Journal

(Available Tuesday 3rd of December)

Manifest is our analogue answer to the digital noise that’s blowing hard sideshore across the modern surfscape.

Our decision to create Manifest was driven by our desire to share some of the amazing waves we visit, with people other than the guests on our vessels and our island. We also wanted to make something more tangible and meaningful than a media campaign. Some of the world’s best surf imagemakers are aboard Indies Trader in a regular rotation, and the volume of extraordinary content that does not make it public is stunning.

Manifest is the way we’ve decided to share this bounty.

At the heart of every surfer lies a desire to share the buzz, the need to turn a few friends onto the joy you have found, but this is countered by the awareness of not wanting to let the cat out of the bag. After all, our mantra has long been “Giving the pack the slip”.

A narrow cast, limited-print-run magazine is the perfect answer. There won’t be thousands of copies out in the wild. Once it’s sold out, it’s done for the year. And if you’re only doing one edition a year, make it count: 148 pages, produced to the highest quality publication standards possible.

Manifest is part surf adventure history, part surf porn, and documents the last four years of exploration and discovery undertaken by Indies Trader Marine Adventures.

Extraordinary imagery and essential reading.  A perfect gift for a hard core surfer in a world flooded with electronic distraction.
