The Best of Surfer Magazine -- Since 1960, Surfer magazine has been chronicling a pastime that confounds description. Now for the first time, Surfer has collected its eclectic array of surf journalism into one volume, from dyspeptic editorials and gnarly travel pieces to great fiction and humor writing. Each piece is introduced by the editors and accompanied by the full-color cover of the Surfer issue in which the article first appeared. With the top names of surf journalism, this authoritative volume defines almost fifty years of Surfer style—and substance.

Chris Mauro was a professional surfer before becoming editor of Surfer. He lives in Southern California.

Steve Hawk is the former editor of Surfer and the author of Waves. He lives near Half Moon Bay, California.

Dave Parmenter's work has appeared in Surfer, Surfing, and Surfer's Journal. He lives in California and Makaha, Hawai'i.

The Surfers Bible

2008-10-23 | 2:10 AM | dan devine

It was called "The Surfer's Bible" in the early days when it was pretty much the only publication dealing with the sport-lifestyle of the rare breed of surfers of the day. And "rare birds" was putting it nicely as those were the days of a clan of sorts that roamed the planet to discover unknown places to practice "The Sport of Kings" The story's are many.... from International Jewel Thief's to credit card scammers.... Sugar Barons and drug smugglers, and everything in between..... Back in the day Surfers truly were exploring everything and every angle possible..... now a days its become a Billion Dollar industry.... who da thunk? Dan Devine / Hawaii
