Product Description
Product Description
"The Lost Coast: Stories From The Surf" is a collection of twenty-two stories that offer a rare and raw glimpse into surf life-from sliding into cold, stiff neoprene at 4 a.m. to experiencing the ecstasy of a curling, cresting wall of water. With pacing that ranges from swift smooth paddle to a gnarly ride, these stories-most of which have been published over the past thirty years-capture the spirit that gave rise to culture of surf on the "sweet and ragged wild edge of beauty." "Drew Kampion is the only American surf writer who kept my interest during the period when I was World Champion - what everyone else was saying made me just want to look at the pictures, Drew's writing has always been an excellent barometer on the state of our tribe."
