Matt Warshaw knows more about surfing than any other person on the planet, as evidenced by The History of Surfing, Warshaw's definitive take on the sport. Now, he has honed that book into an abridged edition for surfers everywhere. Each spread features a micro essay alongside an image capturing a small slice of surf history, from Kelly Slater and the invention of the thruster to shark attacks and localism.
