Synopsis:
Gorgeously illustrated, The Book of Surfing covers everything readers need to know about surf trips, iconic surf movies, profiles of the sport’s greats, practical advice for being a greener surfer, travel essentials—and how surfing conquered the world—from surfer and journalist Michael Fordham. Supplemented by 300 never-before-seen photos and beautiful how-to illustrations, “The Book of Surfing is the 21st century’s coolest guide to surf-culture, like, ever.” (The Surfer's Path)
From the Back Cover:
Everything you need to know about waves Classic surf trips, from California to Cornwall Iconic surf movies and legendary image-makers Profiles of surfing greats, including Miki Dora, Nat Young, and Kelly Slater Practical advice—from becoming a greener surfer to travel essentials and how surfing conquered the world!
It was the sport of Polynesian princes whose names have been lost to history. It is a lifestyle, an art, a sacred rite, a belief system—a unique way of being that deeply tunes the wave-rider into the planet's natural rhythms. It is a billion-dollar industry with millionaire superstars. It is ocean and adrenaline and magic.
The Book of Surfing is a one-stop killer guide to the complete surfing universe for the long-time enthusiast and movie alike.
