Glenn Sakamoto — Liquid Salt Magazine

A passion for surfing led Glenn Sakamoto to create the online magazine Liquid Salt. Its tagline reads: “Profiles of the people who make art, culture + lifestyle of surfing.” Glenn is an example of someone who saw a void and wanted fill it.

“There were many surf blogs out there on the Web, but none of them fit my idea of what a surfing magazine should look and feel like,” Glenn explained. “Many of them felt ‘too insider’ while others targeted 15 year olds bent on spending their allowance on day-glo trunks.”

Glenn wanted to “create a place that shared ‘the stoke’ of surfing by profiling the many talented people who share the joy of the ocean and how that translates into their everyday lives—all in a simple interview format.”

Although Liquid Salt is only six months old, it has generated considerable buzz and attention both in the surfing community and the community at-large. Attracting thousands of readers each month, the publication now has an international staff that pinpoints unique personalities who have an interesting story to tell. Liquid Salt's popularity is also attracting the eyes of clothing companies such as Patagonia.

“Liquid Salt has been fulfilling on so many levels. It shares the beauty of the sport, gives us the opportunity to promote those who might otherwise not have an outlet, and it’s just plain fun to do—kind of like surfing.”
