DescriptionShortboard Revolution illustrates, through board and image, the evolution that created the modern surfboard and modern surfing as we know it. Bridging the period from the Gidget era "Malibu Chip" longboards of the 60s, to the superlight, high-flying surf/skate performance boards of the 80s, this period saw surfing and surf design undergo radical change. It was a period of experimentation and innovation that allowed surfers to be limited only by their imagination in what could be done on a wave. Surfing went from fancy-footwork longboard-style, where the board was the stage, to the modern aerial surf/skate approach where the surfer, board and wave are one.On View
