The History of Modern Surfing
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I was surprised how much this book touched me. It was a short histroy of modern surfing. Excellent writing.
Worth the Price
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I do not subscribe to Surfer magazine because I find many of the articles inane, the focus on slash and burn surfing predictable, and the advertising offensive. But a 60 years of age, I am hardly the targeted audience. That said, the gems from over the years included in this book make for nice reads in most cases. I must say I have re-read several articles and will be taking this with me when I travel. Having Parmenter involved did not hurt my making the decision to buy the book. His writing is excellent.
