The depth of the eclectic and creative culture within the surfing community has never been captured, collected and presented to any significant extent. SURF STORY was conceived, collected, edited by Southern Californian surfer, artist and entrepreneur Robb Havassy for exactly this purpose. SURF STORY is a massive collection of art and stories from 88 of surf culture's most influential artists, writers, photographers and iconic figures. Their art and stories are at the heart of one of the most influential, independent and creative cultures in modern times... one that is solely based on LOVE and PASSION... These are the love stories of surfers reflected in their words, art and photography. The surf story is what the whole culture is built on... we all have our own. It doesn't matter who you are or how well or often you surf... great stories just happen... This project is just one large, multi-media view into the tradition. This book and exhibition features the largest collection of surf art and surf stories ever presented. The 444 page hard-cover coffee table book contains more than 200 pieces of surf art and over 150 surf stories from an incredible list of contributors.Some of the contributors include: Rick Griffin, John Severson, Aaron Chang, Drew Brophy, Gerry Lopez, Rob Machado, Greg Long, Chris Lundy, Mike Doyle, and many more.
