The book uniquely mixes amateur, no World Title-holding surfers and young talents together with living icons and old legends. Vanfleteren searched beyond the traditional borders of the US and Australia in search of other areas where land meets sea-finding people around the globe who have a deep admiration and respect for the ocean. In front of his lens, they are not just people with athletic bodies and suntanned faces. In his Nat-Geo-esque black-and-white portraits, he captures the passion of surfers, and in contrast, their fear towards the force of nature amongst them and the feeling of insignificance up against the power of the ocean. Photographer Stephan Vanfleteren has been revered for showing surf culture as a lot more than just sport and competition. Surf Tribe is said to be the Bible of surf culture. Between the captivating imagery and the inspiring stories that hit harder in ink than hearsay, you’ll want to secure at least a few of these heaters to keep on the table or nightstand-always in eye-sight and arms-length for those flat days where mind surfing is the next best thing. Once published into tangibility, time stands still as the world’s most sought-after breaks and legendary surfers-past and present-are immortalized onto printed pages of glossy, glassy idealizations.
From editorial essays of board shaping’s history and evolution to documenting today’s cleanest waves with even cleaner lenses, stunning shots on and off land are captured by the world’s most revered outdoor/action photographers. The following titles will leave you as spellbound as Pipeline does on a perfect winter’s day. They, in some shape or form, document the cult following of surfing as its own special subculture and way of life. Once some sort of libation is in hand, you might want to settle in cozily to couch surf this lineup of treatises.
It belongs right in the middle of the living room atop your rattan coffee table, next to your stack of coasters for said coffee, or cocktail (no judgment here). The tactile feel of a case bound hardcover boasts a weighty importance and inspires an air of scholarly prestige. That being said, fluttering through the pages of a hefty hardback book with those same fingertips-devouring the sharp, sensory photographs on each one can be just as palpable in its own regard.

Feel free to disagree, but we believe there’s nothing quite comparable to brushing the iridescent green wall of an open face wave with the tips of your fingertips.
