Description The Authors Reviews Reader Reviews

The history of the surfboard is one of innovation---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 surfboards evolution as a perfect convergence of form and function.

Ben Marcus is a stoked gremmie who grew up surfing Santa Cruz and Malibu. After high school, he traveled the world in search of the perfect wave. He served 10 years as associate editor at The Surfer magazine. He now writes for The Surfer's Journal and other surf publications. Ben is the author of Voyageur's Surfing USA! and a forthcoming surf guidebook series for Chronicle. He lives in Malibu. www.benmarcusrules.com

Jeff Divine is one of the world's most famed surfing photographers, bar none. He is the photo editor at The Surfer's Journal.

Dividing her time between her native Brazil and the United States, Juliana Morais is a photographer, filmmaker, and writer who contributes to ESPN Brazil and several surf and sports magazines worldwide. She is also a surfer.

Thumbing through “The Surfboard” — with its many surfboard photos — is like walking through a surf museum. And if it doesn’t make you want to go out and buy a new board, at the very least it’ll motivate you to go to the nearest shop and touch some. -- www.sanluisobispo.com, Sidetracked blog

The photography in the book gets a stoked rating. - Daily Stoke (www.dailystoke.com)

If you love surfing, or simply marvel at the design and variety of surfboards this book’s for you. -- Hawaii, October 1, 2010
