www.aphotoeditor.com is a useful read....
http://rising.blackstar.com/ is often good, but sometimes not....Assume this will take time, and/or suddenly happen....
I remember a certain high-end photographer once telling me that his career changed in 15 minutes when he was able to photograph Michael Jordan early in his career... You may have similar luck if you shoot a surfer who magazines want and you have the only pix....
The magazine world is very odd, I know a photo editor who said their process is almost totally random, but they don't actually pay enough to make a living, most of their photographers do magazine work in order to have tear sheets to show to commercial clients....
So, I would look at the magazine gigs as NOT the whole goal, only part of one that includes at least a few surf-oriented brands...
p.s. I would NOT have taken this post seriously if I hadn't seen the link to your work, which is good....
