It is early 2020, the first wave of COVID has hit and Sean Doherty has just purchased Surfing World Magazine.

This is the first in a new series of program series, Local Business Profile, at the Torquay Library. 

Surfing World is not a new magazine, but Sean Doherty is new to it. What made him take this leap into a vulnerable market at such an uncertain time? Has it been successful? What have been the pitfalls and/or successes of his decision?

Join us at the Torquay Library to hear Sean talk about this local business and what makes it particularly Torquay or Surf Coast.
