A writer for a prominent surfing magazine has admitted writing an article while high on LSD - because his boss asked him late at night.

Stab Magazine published the article by Rory Parker on Wednesday as news broke about Red Bull's upcoming big wave surfing competition Cape Fear in Tasmania.

'I'm just a simple minded drug user tapping a keyboard because his boss is busy playing a TV star somewhere in the South Pacific, or wherever the f*** he is right now,' Mr Parker wrote.

Cape Fear, the world's most dangerous invite-only competition where surfers take on waves over four metres, was last held in 2016.

Organisers surprised surfing fans this week by announcing that the competition looked likely to return in only a few days and would feature surfing star Mick Fanning.

When Mr Parker got a message from his boss Stab's Editor-in-Chief Ashton Goggans at about 10pm begging for someone to write the article, he was hesitant to volunteer.

'I'm in the middle of filming at Uluwatu with Mason and Rozal, is anyone near a (computer) that can post something?' the boss' text read.

'I'm here but I'm not supposed to post. But I'll do it. Tell me go, Chief,' he responded.

Mr Parker penned the piece informing readers of the upcoming event - but it was far from a standard article.

'Ever get a late night (10pm-ish on Kauai) message from your boss and get stuck between "I'm a team player," and "I'm way too f****d up right now and I want to help but this is kind of your fault for trusting me with this responsibility and, besides, do you know what f******g time it is?'' the article read.

In the profanity-riddled piece Mr Parker revealed he had taken 'a couple large doses of LSD'.

Despite its bizarre format, the piece has garnered mostly positive reviews from readers.

'You're a mad man Rory and I f*****g love it,' one person wrote.

'Jesus Rory, all came out pretty well considering how you were moving! Impressive,' another comment read.

A spokesman for the magazine told Daily Mail Australia was written in jest.

'We, as a collective, like to rip each other occasionally in our stories. It's a no hard feelings thing. Keeps it fun,' he said.

Cape fear will be held on Monday, May 13 at Tasmania's infamous slab at Shipstern Bluff.

It was previously held at Sydney's Cape Solander.

Shipstern's is in one of the most remote parts of Tasmania. Competitors and videographers will have to endure a 32km boat ride, or a two-hour hike, to reach it.
