The Surfboard: Art, Style, Stoke

The history of the surfboard is one of innovation—innovation that has in turn shaped the sport of surfing. The Art of the Surfboard follows this history, from the first “wave-riding” redwood planks crafted by ancient Hawaiians to the vacuum-sealed, lightweight, “plastic fantastic” technological marvels of today.

Beautifully illustrated with historical prints and engravings, as well as the latest surf photography and detailed closeups, this book documents the surfboards evolution as a perfect convergence of form and function.
