Book Description
The first book ever written about surfcasting The Call of the Surf is still a well loved classic. Much more than a descriptive book (although you will certainly be informed by the tips and hints given within, many of which are still as valuable now as they were when it was first published nearly 100 years ago) the writing will take you away and bring you on a real fishing adventure. For fans of surfcasting this book is also a beautiful reminder of the sport in its infancy and as such a historical gem it can be enjoyed on several levels. As the author writes: "The purpose of this book is threefold: to afford some small entertaimnent to brother fishermen on those long evenings when the north wind howls and winters sleet drives against the window pane; to attract the stranger to a sport in which the authors have found a vast measure of happiness, and to make somewhat smoother his trail to the Big-Sea Water."

Book Description
Excerpt from The Call of the Sea: A Prose Anthology The Call of the Sea has a more than abstract meaning for one in whose ears it sings all through the year, and the garnering of these extracts within a hundred yards of its surf has lent enjoy ment to the task, which has been indeed no task, but a recreation. In its original form, the collection was to have included poetry, but this was antici pated by the admirable Sailor's Garland of Mr. Masefield, who has for the time being most generously dropped anchor in a large prose sister ship that my little craft may have the fair-way to herself.

Book Description
From the author of Welcome to Paradise, Now Go To Hell, a finalist for the PEN Center USA Award for Nonfiction One of Pearl Jam's Jeff Ament's Top 10 of 2018 It's no surprise that surfers like to party. The 1960-70s image, bolstered by Tom Wolfe and Big Wednesday, was one of mild outlaws--tanned boys refusing to grow up, spending their days drinking beer and smoking joints on the beach in between mindless hours in the water. But in the 1980s, as surf brands morphed into multibillion-dollar companies, the derelict portrait began to harm business. The external surf image became Kelly Slater and Laird Hamilton, beacons of health, vitality, bravery, and clean-living. Internally, though, surfing had moved on from booze and weed to its heart's true home, its soul's twin flame: cocaine. The rise of cocaine in American popular culture as the choice of rich, white elites was matched, then quadrupled, within surf culture. The parties got wilder, the nights stretched longer, the stories became more ridiculously unbelievable. And there has been no stopping, no dip in passion. It is a forbidden love, and few, if any, outside the surf world know about this particular rhapsody. Drug use is kept very well-hidden, even from insiders, but evidence of its psychosis rears its head from time to time in the form of overdoses, bar fights, surf contests, murders, and cover-ups. Cocaine + Surfing draws back the curtain on a hopped-up, sometimes-sexy, sometimes-deadly relationship and uses cocaine as the vehicle to expose and explain the utterly absurd surf industry to outsiders.

Book Description
Excerpt from Undertow of a Trade-Wind Surf Brimmers to Winter! Winter wild and weird, Frost-crowned and peerless! To his jocund laugh And frolic eye, and long white flowing beard, Let us with right good will our bumpers quaff. For why should poets paint the jovial sage So fiercely grim, and not his beauties sing? Why call him blear eyed, crabbed, curst with age, And slander thus the good old roistering king? Not so do we behold him. Glowing hearts Welcome with joy their ancient loving friend While he ungrudgingly to them imparts Pleasures that multiply withouten end. Who brings delights to wile the evenings long? Who drives off cares that pained the summer time? Who crowns long months of toil with mirth and song, But brave old Winter in his lusty prime?

Book Description
Many abodes can fall under the label of surf shack: New York City apartments, cabins nestled next to national parks, or tiny Hawaiian huts. Surfing communities are overflowing with creativity, innovation, and rich personas. Surf Shacks takes a deeper look at surfers' homes and artistic habits. Glimpses of record collections, strolls through backyard gardens, or a peek into a painter's studio provide insight into surfers' lives both on and off shore. From the remote Hawaiian nook of filmmaker Jess Bianchi to the woodsy Japanese paradise that the former CEO of Surfrider Foundation in Japan, Hiromi Masubara, calls home to the converted bus that Ryan Lovelace claims as his domicile and his transport, every space has a unique tale. The moments that these vibrant personalities spend away from the swell and the froth are both captivating and nuanced.
