The history of the surfboard is one of innovation that has, in turn, shaped the sport of surfing.
"The Surfboard" follows this history, from the first "wave-riding" redwood planks crafted by ancient Hawaiians to the vacuum-sealed, lightweight, "plastic fantastic" technological marvels of today.
Beautifully illustrated with historical prints and engravings, as well as the latest surf photography and detailed closeups, this book documents the evolution of the surfboard as a perfect convergence of form and function.
