The ocean has always been a source of inspiration for surfers, beach lovers, and sailors alike. In Surf, artist Peter Wise pairs sixty of his evocative paintings of the surf with anecdotes from surf-lovers around the world-from professional surfing legends to surfing journalists to businessmen who are surfers at heart. These original paintings are sure to inspire anyone who understands surfing to be a metaphor of personal expression.
I stumbled upon this gem of a book in a local bookshop. First of all, the design of the book is absolutely adorable and gorgeous! The book comes in a frosted case with a surf-board shape cut into it. Peter Wise's gorgeous paintings bring to life the art of surfing. Each painting is accompanied by an anecdote, poem, or reflection on surfing. Some of the contributors are famous surfer's, and some are just surf aficionados. This book is a great gift for a friend or family member who loves surfing and the whole surf lifestyle.
