About the Book:

"The Surfer Spirit" is a book unlike any other surf book.
Written and produced by surfers it captures the true spirit of surfing and its significance in our daily lives. Surfing more than a sport, or a "lifestyle". Our need to surf goes beyond trends, fashion, ego, competition and camaraderie. It's the way we, as surfers, experience the essential spirit of LIFE.

Stunning in its simplicity, the book features 54 pages of dramatic photos with simple yet profound sentiments that reflect how surfing keeps us in communion with nature and reconnects us with our spirit.

"The Surfer Spirit" is a book every surfer knows by heart before they even open it. It's a "must have" for anyone who surfs or wants to understand the allure of surfing.

Surfer Reviews:

Mel Pu'u - World Renown Waterman & Makaha Lifeguard
"People sometimes ask me, 'Hey Mel, what church do you go to?'. I tell them I go to the ocean. That's where I go when I need to connect. For me it's not about any particular religion, it's about life around us. This book shows how surfing is like life."

Bonga Perkins - World Surf Champion US & Hawaii Surf Champion
"I find peace in the ocean. I go there to find calm and get it together. Sometimes my kids surf with me; the water brings us together and we just have fun and relax. It's how my family stays close. There really is a spirit out there."

Lama Kinley - Buddhist Monk & New Surfer
"When I first saw the ocean it made me relax. The stress disappeared immediately. I found the waves put you in harmony. When I first stood, I found myself gliding, and I was totally in the present moment. I felt nothing else. Everything else falls away. It was very good. A book like this, which reminds us of that, is also very good."

Ramsay Taum - Kumu (teacher) of Native Hawaiian Practices
"This book is moving and insightful. The Hawaiian tradition of surfing is a dance with nature, a celebration of the unity between humans, the environment and spirit. Reading this book, you can almost feel yourself surfing and it definitely stirs something in you."
