The Book of Surfing
 

The Book of Surfing

by Michael Fordham

Surfers are heirs to a rich legacy. From Polynesian princes whose names have been lost to history, to lantern-jawed champs and wave-riding iconoclasts, surfers are tuned deeply into the natural rhythms of the planet. It's a way of living and a way of being - a physical act that can lead to a state of soaring, sustained euphoria, as well as a billion-dollar industry and a professional sport with its own millionaire superstars.

"The Book Of Surfing" is a one-stop guide to our surfing planet. There is something here for every surfer, from insider essentials to making the ride of your life and the stories of surfing's legendary underground heroes to throwing your own beach party - Hawaiian style; and from iconic surf spots around the world to the ultimate surfer's playlist. Featuring over 300 images, including many by the world's leading surf photographers, this is the twenty-first century's most comprehensive dispatch from the heart of surf culture.

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 being a green surfer to travel essentials How surfing conquered the world!

The Best of Surfer

For almost fifty years, "Surfer" magazine has been rendering the nuances of wave-riding into words like no other publication. For the first time, the editors at "Surfer" have collected 25 of its best, funniest, most dramatic pieces into one read-worthy volume. Entries cover the wide spectrum of surfing life: editorials, profiles, travel pieces, fiction, humor, Questions and Answers, essays, and more. Each piece will be introduced by the editors and will be accompanied by the cover of the issue in which the piece first appeared, making this a fascinating time capsule of "Surfer" style - and substance.
