Seller's Description:
Good. Good condition. Good dust jacket. A copy that has been read but remains intact. May contain markings such as bookplates, stamps, limited notes and highlighting, or a few light stains.
The first half of the book is an interesting tale of how surfing spread from Hawaii to California to Australia. The second half is a lot less interesting because it gets into detail of how boards changed sizes, who won what competition. I started skimming.
Great color photos throughout.
