Caught
Inside : A Surfer's Year on the California Coast
Daniel Duane
Tossing aside a mundane and meaningless job, Daniel Duane went to Santa
Cruz, California, to surf for a year. The book he wrote about it,
Caught
Inside, is something of a Walden of our times. It's wonderfully written,
weaving wave wisdom with literary and historical references. And it's not
for surfers only: even readers who have never seen the surf will find themselves
taken up in the book's rhythms.
Duane sought the peace that surfing offers, and his impressions of surfing
characters, sea life (otters, seals, and the great white shark everyone
fears is right under you as you paddle your board), and the seasons by
the sea are evocative and soothing to read. Amazon.com

Jaws
Maui
Blue Max (Photographer), et al
Jaws Maui is much more than bonzai surfers defying gravity on moving
walls of blue. It is the photography of Blue Max, whose colorful, full-paged
shots juxtapose landscape and seascape, faunal quietude vs. rolling thunder.
And it is the words of the wave riders themselves, waxing their boards
poetic about the beauty of the island, surfculture, and the spirit that
relentlessly calls them to the water. This stirring salute to a place called
Jaws on the island of Maui is a must for anyone ever wowed by the waves.--D.G.

Tom
Blake : Surfing 1922-1932
by Tom Blake (Photographer), Gary Lynch
Thomas Blake--born in rural Wisconsin in 1902--was the most important
and essential figure in the history of modern surfing, as a designer, a
surfer, a ''water stuntman'' in films, and as a person and persona. In
1922 Blake bought a small travel camera and began what would become an
ongoing photographic essay on his life and the surfing world which defined
it. "Tom Blake: Surfing 1922-1932" beautifully reproduces this photographic
series, documenting the seminal world of California and Hawaii surfing
in the 1920s and 1930s. Amazon.com

The Soul of Surfing
Fred Hemmings
"The boldness with which we saw [the Hawaiians] perform these difficult
and dangerous maneuvers was altogether astonishing. . . . " Penned over
200 years ago, Captain Cook's words could be written today with no less
awe or sincerity. In Waikiki, the Hawaiians were the first people to harness
the surf as a source of pleasure. Where, for thousands of years, cultures
living on the coastlines of the world's great oceans had seen waves only
as menacing natural adversaries, the Hawaiians saw fun. Today, as surfers
push the boundaries of wave riding, the ultimate test for the surfing elite
remains Hawaii's formidable waves. The Soul of Surfing is Fred Hemmings's
"talking story" about surfing's culture and history, his own long association
with the sport, and everything from surfer slang to the daredevils who
risk death to challenge the big waves. The Publisher
