An innovator in the field, Grannis suction-cupped a waterproof box to his board, enabling him to change film in the water and stay closer to the action than other photographers of the time. Equally notable is his work covering an emerging surf lifestyle, from "surfer stomps" and hoards of fans at surf contests to board-laden woody station wagons along the Pacific Coast Highway. It is in these iconic images that a sport still in its adolescence embodied the free-spirited nature of an era--a time before shortboards and celebrity endorsements, when surfing was at its bronzed best. 276 pages. 12.7 x 10.4 x 1.3 inches Price:   £24.99 / €32.49Including non EU orders only at 0% Read Reviews   Stoked! A history of surf culture Drew Kampion traces the evolution of modern beach culture and the challenging, beautiful sport that gave rise to it. From its Polynesian origins and the early days of Duke Kahanamoku's beach boys, to the California-style surfing cult that exploded in the 1960's, to the international pro circuits and radical big wave contests of today. Stoked tells the compelling story that has inspired entire genres of music, movies, fashion and art. This revised second edition has updated text and new photographs. Stoked is the lavishly illustrated history of the legends and the places, the artifacts and the trends, that continue to give surf culture its universal allure and appeal. Size: 10.5 x 10.5 in.
