Description

From its Polynesian origins to the beaches of California, the art of surfing has evolved into a truly global phenomenon, with millions of surfers living to the rhythm of the tide. While surfing is typically told from the male perspective, women have long cultivated their own stories on the water and claimed their rightful place in the world of the sport. She Surf pays tribute to the women of yesterday and today who define the art of surfing.

Journey with Stephanie Gilmore, one of the best female surfers in the world, who will represent Australia at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo; meet Chloe Calmon, a Brazilian longboard expert or discover Ishita Malaviya, India's first female professional surfer, and her impact on her local community. Thanks to the striking images and insightful writing of pro surfer Lauren L. Hill, this book ranges from the legendary waves of Hawaii to lesser-known surf destinations like Taghazout and Tofino. She Surf also explores many other incredible surf spots in the Seychelles, along the Tuscan coast in Italy and in the French Basque Country.
Learn more about the forgotten stories of Polynesian surf princesses, the pioneers of the 1960s and the movers and shakers of today's scene. She Surf is an exciting reflection on what it means to be a female surfer and what it feels like to be moved to action by the beauty of the ocean.
