Iconic magazine known as 'the surfers' bible' has covered the sport and culture for 55 years but is now making giant leaps in support of women

The archived website of Australia's surfing bible jars, with its banner of 10 years ago promising "news, blogs, video and girls". In the girls sub-menu, there are links to something called "vixen", "poster girls", videos and someone called Miss Bintang.

That was wrong, Tracks magazine's long-time editor admits. "There are great stories to tell in women's surfing at the moment and as an editor, that's exciting," Luke Kennedy says.
