SURFER STORIES IS AN UNRIVALED COLLECTION OF STORIES ABOUT TWELVE OF THE WORLD'S GREATEST SURFERS.
From the monstrous walls of water at Teahupoo, to the reef-scraping barrels of Pipeline, to the endless peeling break of Jeffreys Bay, legendary surfers have made their mark on surf history, distinguished by the fearlessness, grace, and artistry displayed while riding the most exalted waves.
Each surfer's story is told by a different writer--fellow surfers, famed authors, celebrities, musicians, and surf journalists--who shares a passion for surfing. Surfer Stories offers an insightful perspective on the life of each surfer, both in and out of the water, as could only be told by the writer with whom they are paired:
Shaun Tomson on Kelly SlaterSam George on Laird HamiltonHolly Peterson on Robert Wingnut WeaverGerry Lopez on Garrett McNamaraChris Carter on Shaun TomsonLiza Monroy on Keala KennellyChris Shiflett on Tom CurrenJamie Brisick on Derek HyndBrett Crozier on Bethany HamiltonJim Kempton on Gerry LopezKaren Rinaldi on Rell SunnSelema Masekela on Michael February
The sport of surfing has a mystique and allure that has transformed many of these icons into mythical figures. Surfer Stories brings them together in one definitive collection that will appeal to those who surf and those who don't!
Surfing, much like dance, is a beautiful blend of strength, grace, and artistry. Watching surfers like Rell Sunn, Gerry Lopez, and Kelly Slater move across the waves is like witnessing a choreography of balance and flow--a true testament to the harmony between the body and the ocean. Theirs and the other nine stories in this book are a profound inspiration and reminder of the power of passion and resilience--both on and beyond the surfboard.--Misty Copeland, Principal Dancer with American Ballet Theater and New York Times Bestselling Author
