While wave riding emerged spontaneously in small pockets across the ancient world, surfing as we know it was born in Hawaii. In the last hundred years it has spread from there to every corner of the globe, inspiring dedicated communities in the shadow of big city skylines, swaying palms, and snow-capped mountains.
Through a collection of captivating stories and photo series, The Surf Atlas takes you inside these coastal enclaves, detailing the unique qualities of each place, the waves and the communities embedded within them. Along the way you’ll meet vagabonding outlaws, local pioneers and women making history in the world’s biggest waves. From cover to cover, it’s a celebration of exploration, adventure and the dizzying diversity of our surfing world.
