Huck is a bi-monthly magazine, website and online video channel. It has been recognized for its style of exploring subcultures as "entry points for articles about music, politics and places all over the world." It is published by London-based media company TCOLondon, which also publishes Little White Lies magazine.
Huck launched in 2006 and was initially inspired by the rebellious heritage of surf and skate. The magazine's coverage has since broadened to cover the wider world of culture. In 2006, founding editor and TCOLondon Publisher Vince Medeiros initially said of Huck's intended readership: "Our readers will be part of the tribe of surf, skate and snowboard culture, but they will be people who appreciate that there are other things in life." Editor Andrea Kurland explained the magazine's ethos in 2014 as "punk, skateboarding, surfing, activism, hip-hop, outsider art, indie publishing".
The first issue, which featured snowboarder Shaun White on the cover, was delayed by two months after burglars cleared out the magazine’s Shoreditch office, two weeks before the original release date in May 2006.
In the past, Huck cover stars have occasionally co-curated the issue in which they appear, suggesting stories on people, places and moments that inspired them. Dave Eggers, Miranda July, Mark Gonzales, Kim Gordon and Cat Power are among those who have guest-edited.
Huck is available in the UK, France, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Croatia, Malta, Norway, Sweden, Austria, Switzerland, Ireland, USA, Canada, Australia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, New Zealand and Brazil.
San Francisco–based Chronicle Books published the first Huck book, Paddle Against the Flow: Lessons on Life from Doers, Creators, and Culture-Shakers in 2015. The book collects insights from more than 60 people Huck has published interviews with, as well as photography and art.
Huck was included in Graphic Design – Now In Production, an exhibition co-organized by the Smithsonian Institution’s Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, New York, and the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis that toured the United States from 2011–2014.
