Surfing Florida is a visual history of how the Sunshine State carved out a place for itself on the map of surfing meccas. The surf itself may be mostly modest, but the waves from Florida surf culture are felt the world over. Kelly Slater is a record-setting eleven-time champion of the Association of Surfing Professionals. Frieda Zamba was the youngest surfing world champion ever. Lisa Andersen was named one of the 100 "Greatest Sportswomen of the Century" by Sports Illustrated, led a host of young girls to the sport, and is a global ambassador for the surf brand RoxyTM. However, long before these successes, a collective surf culture flourished in the many beach towns along the state's east and west coasts, from the first surfing community at Daytona Beach in the 1930s to the early competitors who battled misperceptions about the quality of surf and surfers. Fuelled by pop culture and the population boom, surfing exploded in Florida in the 1960s, and today, you can catch groms (young surfers), brahs, and babes rid???ing waves and hanging loose on beaches across the state. Surfer Paul Aho has gathered a vibrant treasure trove of images that cap???ture this sport and its unique lifestyle. The action-packed photos are paired with essays by notable historians and interviews with key historical figures. From dawn patrol to sunset beach camps, from belly boarding to beach movies, and from surf music to the sport's philosophical connection with en???vironmentalism, this is a journey into the heart of Florida surfing.
