The growth of the industry is
largely the result of the rise

skateboarding and snowboarding,

report by Global Industry
Analysts, INC.

“Hawai’i is the birthplace
of surfing. Nowadays,
Hawai’i is still the place
where the limits are pushed
and the boundaries are
broken when it comes to
surfing. Without Hawai’i,
the surf industry would not
be where it is today and in
order to be considered a
legitimate brand in surfing,
it is crucial to have a strong
presence in Hawai’i, and
that is one of the many
reasons we choose to
advertise in Freesurf.”
- Bradley Margol, Global
Marketing Manager,
Quiksilver
In the Industry | Media Mill
“Freesurf is by far the most
popular magazine in Jamba
Juice shops, if not the entire
state of Hawai’i.”
- Sherry Rigg, Marketing
Director, Jamba Juice
Hawai’i 1999-2013
