Note that some commentators credit Bob Evans with producing "Australia's first surfing magazine".
This obviously does not include The Surf (1917) and Lee Cross' The Australian Surfer (1961).
Also note that Jack Eden's first edition of Surfabout is reported as dated August 1962, but it unclear which magazine first appeared in Australian news agencies.

Cover : Butch Cooney Newcastle Contest
Upmarket/alternative (a contradiction?) competitor to the by now dominant Surfing World.
Music, Lifestyle, Environment and Politics were introduced.
In an attempt to give a balanced approach the first three issues, articles by Midget Farrelly, Nat Young and Bob McTavish were given equal space.
The Bob McTavish article is at "WRITING in the sun is a cinch..."
The dates of Surf International magazines are not specified in the publication details.
Some commentators have dated this issue September 1967, yet the cover article on the Newcastle Contest notes it was won by Russell Hughes on 10th September 1967.
Given the publishing lag in this period (up to 6 weeks), a later date seems reasonable.
The magazine's agenda was to be further explored by Witzig in Tracks magazine.

In 1970 Tracks magazine had a significant impact by foregoing colour and using a newsprint format that slashed production time from 12 to 4
weeks.

Tracks magazine was established in October 1970 by Alby Falzon and had asignificant impact by using a newsprint format that slashed production time from 12 to 4 weeks.
As a low priced monthly alternative to the glossy Surfing World magazine it provided up to date commentary on the Australian surfing counter-culture of the early seventies.
Features included perceptive interviews, incisive contest coverage, political and environmental comment,cutting-edge design forum, eco-lifestyle and travel features, movie reviews,photo essays and surfing fiction - including a cartoon series about a surfing pig of steel, Captain Goodvibes which became an icon of Australian surfing culture.
Tracks attracted the emerging talents of surf writers John Witzig, Alby Falzon, JohnStewart, John Grissim, Paul Holmes, Phil Jarratt, David Elfick and Nick Carroll and showcased the photography of Howard Owen, Frank Pithers, John Witzig, Geoff Luton, and John Stewart.
Tracks trod a fine line between politics, pop culture, anarchy, environmental activism,healthy living, spirituality and the world of surfing in its aesthetic and soulful context.
It also encouraged active feedback and contribution by readers and was not immune from the odd scandal. - (Matt Warshaw??)

Jack McCoy commented:
BackDoor was a little stab at the publishing world by Dick Hoole, Brian Singer and Doug Warbrick from Rip Curl, Michael Gordon (who was a cub reporter for the Melbourne Age and who now is one of Australia's most respected political reporters who also in his spare time did the "50 Years at Bells" book) and myself.

BackDoor only lasted about a year and a half and I think we did about 14 issues from memory.
The novelty of doing a monthly Mag (working 25 hours a day the last week to meet a deadline) wore off quickly as we did everything, write the stories, take the photos, sell the ads, layout the mag and make breakfast lunch and dinner living the issue!
The nail in the coffin was that we had trouble getting people to pay for their ads during winter.
But it was mostly fun, and a great experience as well as a greater appreciation for those good ol boys and gals who create any sort of deadline type publications.
