Emerging writers from coastlines around the world are encouraged to submit their work. Several pages will be dedicated to emerging authors in each issue. Editorial and writing assistance can be arranged, if requested.

Indigenous surfers are encouraged to join in Kurungabaa’s production, both as members of the editorial collective and as contributors. Every issue will contain material on surfing-related Indigenous history, culture and politics.

Contributions that draw on academic research should be written in a non-academic style that can engage anyone. Authors are encouraged to identify sources within an article and where appropriate to include notes on sources or references at the end.
