A sunny ride through 300 years of surfing history
In »Endless Summer«, the great adventurers and authors of world literature come together to tell the legends and stories of surfing. This reader will keep you spellbound amid the waves of a never-ending, endless summer, whether you're actively surfing or not. For those who want to learn it, there is a small introduction and a lexicon of the surfing language in the appendix.
From the myths of the native Hawaiians to the first description of surfing by the navigator Captain Cook. From daredevil Mark Twain's letters describing his first attempts at surfing, to Jack London's hymn to this "royal sport." From Daniel Duane's dropout experiences to Tom Wolfe's special perspective on the surfing culture and language of American teenagers. The myth of surfing lives on in this book for eternity.
With contributions from Mark Twain and Herman Melville and Jack London and Tom Wolfe and Daniel Duane.
