The CSC Newsletter(s) have a new home! I’ve partnered up with a great new platform called SubKit to launch a series of subscription products for my intellectual content. There will still be tons of free content here on the blog, on YouTube, and on my Instagram, but if you want the special-est of the special sauce then you’ll want to go over there and pick a plan. As I describe in my first post, there are 4 main plans:
The monthly CSC newsletter @ $3 per month: same newsletter you’re used to getting chock full of interesting surf content, philosophical thoughts, updates on retreats and events, and links to other rad stuff I’ve come across.
A weekly newsletter @ $25 per month: this replaces the ‘active client emails’ and advanced Patreon tiers. Weekly surf tips, updates, and technique videos, plus insight into surf forecasting, swells, and issues of etiquette and social norms in the surfing lineup. A 1x per month community Zoom Q & A to nail out your surfing queries.
Book Club membership @ $10 a month: If you just want to do book club then this is the ticket. We do 2-4 Zooms a month to discuss a text we’re reading. We’re currently reading World in the Curl: An Unconventional History of Surfing (2014).
Everything Conatus @ $35 a month: it’s all of the above.
Subkit is rad in that it collates all of the tiers for me, so that when I’m composing my weekly or monthly posts, it will only send them to the subscribers behind the particular paywalls. You won’t get any content that you don’t want. Adding the subscription feature keeps me enthusiastic about pumping out more great content and hosting more physical and virtual intellectual surfing events. Again, there will continue to be smatterings of free content here on the blog and on instagram — I do want to provide something for everyone — but the more in depth surf support emails will live over there. If you dig my monthly and weekly “surf zines” please tell your friends and get them involved too!
