MILES MASTERSON MEDIA - Cape Town

I am widely published in magazines and websites across the world and at home. In South Africa I have contributed to the Sunday Times Lifestyle Magazine and Food & Travel supplements, as well as Men’s Health Best Life, Men’s Health Living, Out There, SL, Zigzag, Saltwater Girl, African Surfrider and Gust magazines, and various in-flight magazines, among others. I was also online editor of the Red Bull Big Wave Africa event website in 2008. Internationally I have contributed to a number of specialist extreme sports publications and websites in the US, Australia and Europe, including Surfline.com, Worldprosurfers.com, Surf, The Surfers Journal, Adrenalin, Heckler, Huck, Playboard, Trip Surf, Concrete Wave and Wavelength magazines and an issue of A&F Quarterly.

words and photos to surf industry catalogues and websites and to books, such as Brands and Branding South Africa in 2004. I have also taken photos for a snowboarding instructional book and contributed words to a commemorative book on the Red Bull Big Wave Africa surfing event and an Australian global surfing atlas. My own book, How To Surf in South Africa, is out now, published by Penguin. My direct magazine industry experience includes a three-year tenure as associate editor of Wavelength Magazine in the UK during the early ‘90s. I co-founded the award winning SA youth magazine blunt with Craig Sims of Atoll Media in 1997, and became a shareholder in the company, which produces Zigzag and Saltwater Girl magazines. I served on the Atoll board as a director and ran blunt for 10 years (eventually becoming an associate publisher), until I resigned in 2006 to resume freelancing.
