The people at Taschen really did a great job on the book, along with author, Jim Heimann, who spent over three and a half years researching and compiling this powerful collection of essays and photos. Get a look at “Surfing” and grab one for your collection.\u00a0Much love to everybody. Peace out.” \u2013 Book review by Jeff Ho<\/p>\n

About “Surfing”<\/p>\n

“SURFING”<\/h3>\n

The sport of kings<\/h3>\n
\n

More than 200 years of surfing culture<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

This platinum tome is the most comprehensive visual history of surfing to date, marking a major cultural event as much as a publication<\/strong>. Following three and a half years of meticulous research<\/strong>, it brings together more than 900 images<\/strong> to chart the evolution of surfing as a sport<\/a>, a lifestyle, and a philosophy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The book is arranged into five chronological chapters, tracing surfing culture from the first recorded European contact in 1778 by Captain James Cook to the global and multi-platform phenomenon of today<\/strong>. Utilizing institutions, collections, and photographic archives from around the world, and with accompanying essays by the world\u2019s top surf journalists, it celebrates the sport on and off the water, as a community of 20 million practitioners <\/strong>and countless more devotees, and as a leading influence on\u00a0fashion, film, art, and music.<\/strong><\/p>\n

An unrivaled tribute to the breadth, complexity, and richness of surfing, this book is a must-have for any serious player on the surfing scene and anybody who aspires to the surfing lifestyle. As one surfing scribe has declared, \u201cThere has never been a book like this, and there will never be another one again.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
