In Stoked! A History of Surf Culture,
surf journalist Drew Kampion traces the evolution of modern beach
culture and the challenging, beautiful sport that gave rise to it.
From its Polynesian origins and the early days of Duke
Kahanamoku's beach boys, to the California surfing cult that
exploded in the 1960's, to the international pro circuits and
radical big wave contests of today, Stoked tells the
compelling story that has inspired entire genres of music, movies,
fashion and art. This revised second edition has updated text and
new photographs.
Stoked is the lavishly illustrated history of the
legends and the places, the artifacts and the trends, that
continue to give surf culture its universal allure and appeal.
A truly fascinating and beautiful book! |
