Krátky popis
At a time when surfing is more popular than ever, it’s fitting to
look back at the years that brought the sport into the mainstream.
Developed by Hawaiian Islanders over five centuries ago, surfing
began to peak on the mainland in the 1950s—becoming not just a
sport, but a way of life, admired and exported across the globe.
One of the key image-makers from that period is LeRoy Grannis, a
surfer since 1931, who began photographing the longboard era of the
early 1960s in both California and Hawaii. This edition brings back
Grannis’s hair-raising, sold-out Collector’s Edition, curated from
the photographer’s personal archives, to showcase his most vibrant
work in a compact and affordable format—from the bliss of catching
the perfect wave at San Onofre to dramatic wipeouts at Oahu’s famed
North Shore. An innovator in the field, Grannis suction-cupped a
waterproof box to his board, enabling him to change film in the
water and stay closer to the action than any other photographer of
the time. He also covered the emerging surf lifestyle, from “surfer
stomps” and hordes of fans at surf contests to board-laden woody
station wagons along the Pacific Coast Highway. It is in these
iconic images that a sport still in its adolescence embodied the
free-spirited nature of an era—a time before shortboards and
celebrity endorsements, when surfing was at its bronzed best.
