Underground Surf Magazine.

First published around the mid 90’s, Underground Surf was the work of passionate surfer and weather forecaster Ben Horvath. What was so special about U.S was that it was a south-side based and  influenced magazine which gave the local crew a bit of a push. Regularly featured were Terapai, The McKinnleys, Boogs , Rusty and the new kids like Blake Johnston, Flintoff and crew.  This issue Spring ’94 it was Murph on the cover taken by Joli. Since its demise in early 200’s the South-siders once again are too often easily ignored by the current crop of surf publications.
