She Surf - The Rise of Female Surfing (Relié)

Join the celebration of the diverse, vibrant, and engaged community of women riding and making waves around the globe. From its Polynesian origins to the beaches of California, the art of surfing has become a truly global phenomenon with millions of wave riders living to the rhythm of the tides. While surfing is usually told through a male perspective, women have long been nurturing their own water stories and claiming their rightful place in the world of this sport.
She Surf hails the women, past and present, who define the art of surfing. Through evocative imagery and insightful text written by professional surfer Lauren L. Hill, the book travels from the iconic waves of Hawaii to lesser-known surf destinations such as Taghazout, Morocco and Tofino, Canada. Learn about the forgotten stories of Polynesian surfing princesses, pioneering wave riders from the 1960s, and the contemporary movers and shakers shaping the scene.
She Surf is an exciting reflection on what it means to be a female surfer and how it feels to be moved to action by the beauty of the ocean.
