Book Reviews of Surf Book
Book Review: A great embodiment of what surfing was....
Summary: 5 Stars
A great embodiment of what surfing was.......Before it became the sold out, glamorous hollywood epic. This book embodies what surfing is about for those of us that skip the glossy advertisement ladened magazines with spoiled white californians selling goods made in sweatshops while they eat in and out burgers in Huntington. I grew up very near where Joel did (P.B.) and while it was twenty years prior still I think I understand his influences a bit and where he may have been heading with this. I would love to see some melancholy black and white surf stuff- lone surfers sitting outside the lineup and empty waves with pelicans reminiscent of Naki meets Skip at Coho- but I have no need to have everything spelled out to me like a little child, the ending wrapped up in a nice easy reader package.
All in all I can't wait for my copy to come (I've been sponging off of a friend as my daughter has already told me not to buy this as it may be an X-mas present.)
You target-market whiners that want Transworld surf type "journalism", keep eating up your Time-Warner generated demographically correct tripe. Surfing is as much about the trip to and from and the people you meet along the way- whether they surf or not- as it is about dropping in and the glide (Or I assume from your insipid reviews for you it's all about "smacking the lip and throwing buckets". Yawn.
You keep your tiny world view- I give this book a ten out of five.
(If you like this you might like any of the Surfer's Journal "Masters of Surf Photography" Books featuring Art Brewer, Jeff Divine, Ted Grambeau or Warren Bolster. (and yeah- sorry- there's a lot of portraits, Landscapes and National Geographis type stuff on there- but all National Geographic quality, too. I'd like to see one of those featuring Naki.)
