Description
Introduction
Australia and New Zealand are blessed with some of the most beautiful beaches in the world and it is little wonder that when many of those beaches also offer perfect surfing conditions as well, that surfing in all its forms has prospered and thrived as in almost no other country on earth.
The parallel growth of the Surf Life Saving Association of Australia and of surfing itself has been a unique feature of the sport’s development and it probably explains why Australians in particular take their surfing so seriously and why they do so well at it. They dominate the world professional surfing scene and look like doing so for many more years.
For many of today’s youngsters, their heroes are the surf riders who bring so much credit back to Australia and who perform the mind-bending manoeuvres that look so spectacular in photographs and on film. For without doubt, surfing is one of the most photogenic of all sports.
This book brings together some of the very best of these photographs, recording for ever that split second when some unbelievable movement is frozen. Surfing in all its forms is a part of our tradition and way of life and these photographs go a long way towards explaining why.
