This volume is a comprehensive visual history of surfing, marking a major cultural event as much as a publication. Following three and a half years of meticulous research, it brings together hundreds of images to chart the evolution of surfing as a sport, a lifestyle, and a philosophy.
The book is arranged into five chronological chapters, tracing surfing culture from the first recorded European contact in 1778 by Captain James Cook to the global and multi-platform phenomenon of today.
Utilizing institutions, collections, and photographic archives from around the world, and with accompanying essays by the world’s top surf journalists, it celebrates the sport on and off the water, as a community of 20 million practitioners and countless more devotees, and as a leading influence on fashion, film, art, and music.
An unrivaled tribute to the breadth, complexity, and richness of surfing, this book is a must-have for any serious player on the surfing scene and anybody who aspires to the surfing lifestyle.
As one surfing scribe has declared, “There has never been a book like this, and there will never be another one again.”

Surfing. 1778–Today (XL)
€89.00
Šis sējums ir visaptveroša sērfošanas vizuālā vēsture, kas ir gan nozīmīgs kultūras notikums, gan publikācija. Pēc trīsarpus gadus ilgas rūpīgas izpētes tajā apkopoti simtiem attēlu, lai atspoguļotu sērfošanas kā sporta veida, dzīvesveida un filozofijas evolūciju.
Grāmata ir sadalīta piecās hronoloģiskās nodaļās, kurās sērfošanas kultūrai ir izsekots no pirmā reģistrētā kontakta ar Eiropu 1778. gadā, ko veica kapteinis Džeimss Kuks, līdz mūsdienu globālajam un daudzplatformu fenomenam.
Izmantojot institūcijas, kolekcijas un fotoarhīvus no visas pasaules, kā arī pasaules labāko sērfinga žurnālistu esejas, grāmata cildina šo sporta veidu uz ūdens un ārpus tā, kā 20 miljonu praktizētāju un vēl neskaitāmāku piekritēju kopienu, kā arī kā vadošo ietekmi uz modi, kino, mākslu un mūziku.
Šī grāmata ir nepārspējams veltījums sērfinga plašumam, sarežģītībai un bagātībai, un tā ir obligāta ikvienam nopietnam sērfinga spēlētājam un ikvienam, kurš tiecas uz sērfinga dzīvesveidu.
Kā viens no sērfotājiem ir izteicies: "Šādas grāmatas vēl nav bijis, un nekad vairs nebūs."
