Concrete Wave Magazine is a Canadian publication which was founded in 2002 by Michael Brooke.[1][2] It was a continuation of Brooke's involvement with skateboard publishing. In 1999, Brooke had also his book The Concrete Wave (the history of skateboarding), published by Warwick Publishing. [3] In 2000, a television series called Concrete Wave launched. The magazine was first based in Toronto. It is headquartered in Thornhill, Ontario.[4]
A 6-page preview issue of Concrete Wave Magazine appeared in the publication International Longboarder (vol. 3 no. 3, spring 2002). International Longboarder was co-published by Brooke along with Tom Browne. It ceased publication in 2002.[5]
Concrete Wave's mandate is to inject roots and variety into skateboarding. Features have included profiles of some of the world's greatest skate photographers and interviews with some of the sports pioneers and legends. The magazine covers the entire range of skateboarding: pools, pipes, ditches, longboarding, speedboarding, slalom, freestyle and of course, street.
