How does it feel to be in the mouth of a 50-foot tube? To carve a perfect 200-degree turn? To get plowed under a thundering mountain of whitewater? SurfRiders puts readers in the curl with 100 vivid full-color photographs and more than 20 stories by the greatest names in surfing. Chasing the swells from Waimea Bay to South Africa's Cape St. Francis, it brings to life the near-mystical allure of riding the big wave, the rush of shooting the tube, the draw of the pipeline. Along the way, it shows readers the pivotal points of surfing's development, explores the unique beach boy culture its spawned, provides a fascinating look at the evolution of the surfboard (or 'gun' as its called) and recounts some of the most outrageous sets ever ridden. In the tradition of Ski Fever! and The Olympic Spirit, this visually stunning book also features tons of sidebars, historic photos and incredible images of today's greatest champions. Designed for both die-hard surfers and landlocked dreamers alike, it is as close to hanging ten in big wave heaven as you can get without getting wet. How does it feel to be in the mouth of a 50-foot tube? To get plowed under a thundering mountain of water? Featuring the most awesome surfing photography ever published and told by the men and women who shaped and lived the sport, this heartfelt tribute to the soul of surfing celebrates the power and poetry of human and wave and their dance at the edge of the sea. Includes sidebars, historic photos, and incredible images of today's greatest champions. 100 full color photos. Slight scratching/scuffing on cover. Front cover has a crease.
