SURFER Magazine

Wrote dozens of front- and back-of-book sections and reviews from 2004-2006, much pre-digital transition. Print scans forthcoming.

Surfing’s Greatest Misadventures Dropping in on the unexpected (REVIEW)

Required reading right here, a future staple of Surf Culture 101 collegiate classes. Much of surfing’s enduring culture is passed along the chain of wave-riders and ocean folk through tall tales and reports from around the world. Surfing has its own historical mythology, and the intense bonding of sharing stories after a session, or during a flat spell, or while on a long slog of travel, adds to it. Surfers, some of the world’s most colorful characters, consistently find themselves in activities beyond the average worldly experience. But the best voices, stories and storytellers are more likely to be found out in the field, out on the journey, along the trail of the tropics, and if you’re not there, then you’re not tapping the source.

Paul Diamond and Tyler McMahon did the legwork of corralling a remarkable collection of those stories and storytellers to produce Surfing’s Greatest Misadventures: Dropping In on the Unexpected. The stories are so good this book achieves mass appeal; drama, humor, loss and gain, wisdom, failure, humility… serious literature, bro, go ahead and lose yourself. This collection features professional writers and editors mixed in with industry types, active participants and interested bystanders, and there’s not a bad tale in the lot. Ben Marcus with Greg Noll on Miki Dora, Steve Pezman on Trestles then and now, a few selections of Matt George’s incomparable style, Buzzy Kerbox, Shawn Alladio, Fernando Aguerre, Terry Gibson’s heavy-duty tour of the Transkei; shark attacks, birds exploding jet engines, navigating storm-tossed seas for 12 hours with nothing but an AM radio signal, a surf contest for homeless guys…there is a lot here, and it’s all good. Do yourself a favor and get this book, enjoy the heck out of it, and pass it on.

BIO

I'm Owen Michael, an independent writer, editor and producer working in broadcast, print and digital media journalism. 

I began my career wire-editing business news and earnings reports, then wrote and edited for SURFER magazine, before moving to online news production at KABC-TV. 

I went on to write, edit and produce digital content for the syndicated true-crime TV series "Crime Watch Daily," which aired for 3 seasons, then rebranded fully digital as "True Crime Daily" (it's now "True Crime News"). I ran the site and socials, launched and produced two subsequent crime-show podcast series, and hosted multiple episodes, at Telepictures -- where I received an L.A. Press Club investigative-report journalism podcast award in 2021.

As a freelance specialist, I've taken on a variety of editing and production roles, including helping lead digital content creation, distribution, engagement and streaming expansion at KCBS/KCAL-TV.

I started at TMZ in 2024 as a Senior News Editor, overseeing most digital posting every weekday, final QC-ing for errors, legal issues, smooth and factual writing, and of course enforcing the particularly demanding in-house style.

I grew up in the northern suburbs of the Chicagoland area. 

I attended Arizona State University, where I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English Literature, with a focus on Semiotics and a minor in Sociology.

I started working in restaurants in high school and continued through college and into my early editorial career.

I've lived in Los Angeles since 1999. I get outside regularly for quality time on the trails and in the water.
