'Global Surf Nation' is not just another book about surfing. Surfing has changed in the last decade; it has evolved. The majority of people surfing and following the sport today are not in it for the money or the adulation – they are involved because they love the water, they love the waves and they love the feeling they get when they're out on a board.
Surfing gives the type of freedom you cannot experience from a group sport or any other solo exercise. 'Global Surf Nation' takes a trip around the world looking at surfing through the eyes of contemporary surfing photographers.
Original, hard to find surf spots like those in Africa and South America are featured, as well as the established bases of the Western USA, Australia and, of course, Hawaii where it all began. Instead of page after page of dull photography featuring another surfer on yet another breaker, 'Global Surf Nation' looks further than just the rider and the board. Underwater shots, rare locations and stunning action photography are all inside. The text accompanies the reader on
the journey through the world of surf, explaining why surfers surf,why they choose where they surf and what they get out of the sport.
