Surf Odyssey

The sport and story of surfing extends far beyond its birthplace in Polynesia. Surf Odyssey: The Culture of Wave Riding takes a look at both the sport itself and the community that has sprung up around it, including everyone from photographers to designers. With outstanding photos from surfing locations covering places like California, Norway, South Korea, and anywhere else there's access to large bodies of water, this 250-page tome will give you a new perspective on the oft misunderstood practice of riding the waves.
