About the Book: Once a subculture in the first half of the last century, surfing is now a mass sport with international competitions, stars, and spectacular events. With hundreds of photos and essays by seasoned surf journalists, our voluminous picture book traces the foamy wake that wave riding has left through almost every area of our popular culture, including music, fashion, art, and photography. A visually powerful homage to the dream of the endless summer.
