DescriptionThe bulk of the photographs appearing in this volume were taken just as surfing was stumbling its way into adolescence--rapidly spiraling towards something bigger, broader and with more popular appeal than the author of our opening passage could have imagined. As you browse through them, the one thing that cuts through the circus atmosphere of the commercial surf contest is how cool surfing really is, how much fun it is to go to the beach, alone or with friends, to paddle out and catch some waves; to lay on the sand soaking rays, watching the swells as they trip against the sandbar and begin to crumble forward; to marvel at the eternal youthfulness of suntanned girls and boys.On View
