In Stoked! A History of Surf Culture, surf journalist Drew Kampion traces the evolution of modern beach culture and the challenging, beautiful sport that gave rise to it. From its Polynesian origins and the early days of Duke Kahanamoku's beach boys, to the California surfing cult that exploded in the 1960's, to the international pro circuits and radical big wave contests of today, Stoked tells the compelling story that has inspired entire genres of music, movies, fashion and art. This revised second edition has updated text and new photographs.

Stoked is the lavishly illustrated history of the legends and the places, the artifacts and the trends, that continue to give surf culture its universal allure and appeal.

A truly fascinating and beautiful book!
