Culture Waves: Michael Fordham’s Book of Surfing

June 16, 2008 · Words: Martin S · 

INSIDE “THE BOOK OF SURFING” BY MICHAEL FORDHAM. BANTAM PRESS, ISBN: 0593060733.

It was the discovery of vintage surf mags stashed amongst copies of Playboy that drove a teenage Michael Fordham to his obsession with stalking the sea on a board, in quest of the perfect wave.

Twenty years on, his The Book of Surfing- out today on Bantam Press- tries to encapsulate the lavish tradition of surfing, “from Polynesian princes, to lantern-jawed champs and wave-riding iconoclasts.”

Filled with “iconic photography, films and graphics from the last 50 years”, the book is a must for anyone who’s ever shared Fordham’s obsession with “this most enduring and influential of subcultures”.
