DescriptionParaffin Chronicles is a first-hand account of one of the most exciting and dynamic decades in surfing history. Told by noted surfer "Herbie" Torrens, the story chronicles the dramatic changes in surfing and surfing culture between 1960 and 1970. Growing up in Newport Beach, California, and later moving to Hawaii, Torrens shares his experience of battling through the ranks of surfdom, from scrawny wanna-be "gremmie" to the cover of "Surfer Magazine." Along the way we meet many of the legends of the day, and experience the dawning of an age. From the introduction of wetsuits to the pure expression of short-board surfing, Paraffin Chronicles gives us an action-packed, water-level glimpse of a surfer's journey through life.On View
