Seit einem Vierteljahrhundert begleitet das Blue Surf Magazin die Surfkultur im deutschsprachigen Raum – mit Tiefgang, Haltung und einem klaren Blick jenseits von Hype und Schnelllebigkeit.
In dieser Episode spreche ich mit Andi Spies über die Entstehung des Magazins, prägende Momente der Anfangszeit und die Frage, warum Print auch im digitalen Zeitalter noch immer Relevanz hat.

Wir reden über die Entwicklung des Surf-Printmarktes, über die Bedeutung guter Texte in einer visuell dominierten Welt und darüber, was eine starke Story wirklich ausmacht. Außerdem geht es um den Wandel der deutschen Surf-Szene, den zunehmenden Surftourismus, Surfcamps – und darum, was dabei vielleicht verloren gegangen ist.

Ein weiteres Thema: KI, Bildüberdruss und Authentizität. Warum echte Fotografie – gerade im Reise- und Surfbereich – nicht ersetzbar ist und weshalb Menschen sich wieder nach echten Bildern und echten Geschichten sehnen.

Zum Abschluss werfen wir einen Blick nach vorn:
Würde man heute nochmal ein Surfmagazin gründen – und wenn ja, wie?

Ein Gespräch über Leidenschaft, Neugier, Medienwandel und die Frage, wie man sich nach 25 Jahren treu bleibt, ohne stehen zu bleiben.
