This volume is a comprehensive visual history of surfing, marking a
major cultural event as much as a publication. Following three and
a half years of meticulous research, it brings together hundreds of
images to chart the evolution of surfing as a sport, a lifestyle,
and a philosophy.The book is arranged into five chronological
chapters, tracing surfing culture from the first recorded European
contact in 1778 by Captain James Cook to the global and
multi-platform phenomenon of today. Utilizing institutions,
collections, and photographic archives from around the world, and
with accompanying essays by the world’s top surf journalists, it
celebrates the sport on and off the water, as a community of 20
million practitioners and countless more devotees, and as a leading
influence on fashion, film, art, and music.An unrivaled tribute to
the breadth, complexity, and richness of surfing, this book is a
must-have for any serious player on the surfing scene and anybody
who aspires to the surfing lifestyle. As one surfing scribe has
declared, “There has never been a book like this, and there will
never be another one again.”
