Read a sample Read a sample
This in-depth, photo-packed look at the history and culture of surfers is "meticulously researched, smartly written . . . required reading" (Outside Magazine).
Matt Warshaw knows more about surfing than any other person on the planet. After five years of research and writing, Warshaw, a former professional surfer and editor of Surfing magazine, has crafted an unprecedented, definitive history of the sport and the culture it has spawned.
With more than 250 rare photographs, The History of Surfing reveals and defines this sport with a voice that is authoritative, funny, and wholly original. The obsessive nature of Warshaw's endeavor is matched only by the obsessive nature of surfers, who are brought to life in this book in many tales of daring, innovation, athletic achievement, and the offbeat personalities who have made surfing history happen.
"The world's most comprehensive chronicler of the surfing scene." —Andy Martin, The Independent
