Recensione:

This book gets you thinking about waves and surf photography in new ways. It starts out with a feast of fresh angles and achingly perfect lineups, interspersed with quotes from some of surfing s most dedicated devotees. But then, instead of leaving the reader hanging with gratuitous images of saline perfection, it guides you through the actual process of capturing perfect wave images yourself. It s a toolkit cleverly disguised as a coffee table book, so beautifully presented that you never even realise you re learning something along the way. --Bradley Hook, Surfd.com

A kaleidoscopic collection of beautifully reproduced, breathtaking images --Gregor Leigh, Cape Town Argus.

The perfect gift for any surfer, photographer or surf lover --ZigZag Magazine Stunning
