Exciting news for surf enthusiasts! Zigzag Surfing magazine is making a triumphant return, thanks to Rebel Media Group stepping in to keep the iconic print alive.

Originally set to close in December 2023, this beloved South African surfing beacon will be back on shelves by July 2024, much to the delight of its loyal readership.

Christian Herles, representing Rebel Media Group, emphasized Zigzag’s longstanding role as a voice for South African surf culture, spanning an impressive 48 years. With this relaunch, there’s a renewed focus on embracing the vibrant surf movements across Africa, fostering a deeper connection between European and African surf enthusiasts.

Under Rebel Media’s umbrella, Zigzag plans to amplify its presence across various media platforms, bridging cultural exchanges and highlighting the richness of surfing experiences on both continents. This strategic move not only ensures Zigzag’s continued presence but also opens doors to a wider audience through enhanced content and engagement.

The relaunch includes exciting plans for two premium print editions annually, promising more pages, superior quality, and the same captivating surf narratives Zigzag is renowned for. Meanwhile, online and social media platforms will buzz with fresh content and innovative projects, setting the stage for an exhilarating second half of the year.
