Description

Over its six decades in print (1960-2020) the legendary Surfer magazine was considered to be the bible of surfing and surf culture. This carefully curated anthology, showcasing the best covers and interior pages serves as a quintessential reference guide to the history of surfing, surf style and design. Founded in 1960 by surfer, artist, and filmmaker John Severson, Surfer was the longest continuously published surf magazine, referred to as “the bible of the sport.” Surfer was firmly established as the sport’s leading voice, serving as a template for a small but growing number of surf magazines around the world. Featuring a mix of travel articles, contest reporting, surf spot profiles, big wave pictorials, and surfer interviews, Surfer worked with the world’s best photographers, writers, and graphic designers. This voluminous anthology features the most time-less, inspirational, and historically significant covers and interior pages from the magazine’s extensive archive and depicts the chronological progression of the sport, the gear, the style, and the world’s top surfers throughout the decades, from Mickey Dora to Kelly Slater and Laird Hamilton. This is the perfect book for those who surf or spend time in the ocean and for anyone interested in a historical reference guide to modern day surfing and its highly influential style and subculture.

  • A Coffee Table Book for the Surfer Interested...
Format: Hardcover
Overall, they did a great job reproducing 'the best of' Surfer magazine. I did like this book, but I'd only call it semi-glossy, although the paper is thick. No, you are not going to be able to read every Surfer article since the actual pages from the original magazine are sometimes greatly reduced in size. (But a magnifying glass will help.). The pictures tended to get better and better over the years, as did the cameras. Likewise, surfboards changed radically over the years, although the people attracted to surfing seemed to stay mostly constant. No, I am not a surfer, I'm just one of those kids who saw, "The Endless Summer" when it was released back in June of 1966, and have been forever fascinated by surfing ever since. I was a downhill skier, and I could immediately appreciate the appeal & thrill of surfing. I always looked thru Surfer magazine when I saw it on newsstands, likewise the Skateboarding magazines. Always been addicted to the adrenaline rush. I still make sure to see every surfing movie, or documentary when it comes out, and the same for skateboarding. Skiing movies, there are too many to keep up with. ... show more
