One of the most comprehensive visual histories to-date of the sport and culture of surfing. It brings together two and a half years of meticulous research with institutions, collections, and photographic archives around the world to trace the visual history of surfing from its first description by Captain Cook in 1778 to today's global phenomenon. Divided into five chronological chapters, with essays by top surfing journalists, it examines and celebrates the evolution of surfing both on and off the water, as a sport, a lifestyle and a philosophy.
