Description
From the first wave riders in Polynesia to today's world-class athletes chasing record-breaking swells, this book shows how surfing has always been more than a sport--it's a way of life.
Readers discover:
- Waves form
- How early societies like those in Hawaii wove surfing into everyday life,
- How the practice spread around the world--from California and Australia to France, Indonesia, and beyond.
- Along the way, it introduces larger-than-life figures like Duke Kahanamoku, Miki Dora, Rell Sunn, and Kelly Slater, and explores how surfing intersects with music, film, fashion, activism, and even skateboarding.
- It also dives into topics like environmental awareness, gender equality, and the thrill of finding the perfect wave.
Gazhole's illustrations are energetic and full of movement, blending dynamic full-page scenes with lively diagrams and comic-style panels. They capture the rhythm of the sea, the spirit of surf culture, and the personalities of iconic surfers with sun-soaked charm.
Surfing's cool, free-spirited energy makes this journey especially captivating for today's readers--whether they're seasoned wave-chasers or brand-new to the sport.
