When I was but a young bodyboarding gromlet some 25 (or more 😬) years ago, @riptidemag was the hallowed Australian print that churned out magical imagery of everyone I aspired to be like, month after month. Hard to believe now it literally used to come out every month. The world has changed immensely, and Riptide is calling it a day. Sad to see, but a silver lining is with its last ever edition I have scored its cover!!! (1 of 5 versions being released). Even managed to have been reserved for a little feature deeper inside the mag. I’m absolutely honoured to have been included in such a beautiful send off for the mag that is in part responsible for how I’ve ultimately lived my life. What a buzz. Thanks so much to Elliot and the gang for allowing me to be a part of it.
Some of you have reached out saying you can’t find Embra on Spotify.
This release isn’t there by choice.
It’s available on Bandcamp, SoundCloud, Apple Music, YouTube, and elsewhere.
I’m grateful to everyone who’s been listening and taking the time to look.
