Surfer : 50 Years

Surfer magazine has captured and defined surf culture in every way: the sport's best photography, most respected journalists, greatest tales, epic surf discoveries, colourful characters, and cultural icons. Marking "Surfer" magazine's 50th anniversary, this book examines each of these spheres of influence - through archival journalism and photos, as well as original text and previously unpublished photographs - to provide a complete perspective of the sport's most vital facets.

Sam George is a professional surfer, documentary filmmaker, screenwriter and former editor of SURFER Magazine. He edited The Perfect Day: 40 Years of Surfer Magazine. He co-wrote several surf and other documentaries--including The Lost Wave, Riding Giants, and Crips and Bloods: Made in America--and is director and co-writer of a film on surfer Greg MacGillivray, scheduled for release in 2010.
