DescriptionSurfers may leave no trace of their tracks across the face of the wave, but in their wake is a rich photographic history, a visual timeline, made all more poignant by the fact that it cannot be repeated or recreated. In this sense, surfing culture--both literal and iconographic--has been defined by its photography. Almost a century's worth of imagery, from sepia-toned shots of Old Hawaii to the latest follow-focus close-ups of Kelly Slater--no definitive historical compilation, but rather an almost random collection of magic moments that when viewed together provide a portrait of a remarkable lifestyle. The photographs assembled in this volume do just that.
