History of Surfing - book by Matt Warshaw

Hardcover | 1 December 2010 | Edition Number 1

Matt Warshaw knows more about surfing than any other person on the planet. After five years of research and writing, Warshaw has crafted an unprecedented history of the sport and the culture it has spawned. At nearly 500 pages, with 250,000 words and 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 this endeavour is matched only by the obsessive nature of surfers, who will pore through these pages with passion and opinion. Here, at last, is the definitive history of surfing.

READERS LOVE IT: In hundreds of 5-star ratings, reviewers rave, calling this "the best, most comprehensive and enjoyable single source read available today on surfing" that's definitely "not just for surfers."
