Review of Stoked: A History of Surf Culture
Stoked: A History of Surf Culture
Drew Kampion, Bruce Brown
The full story of surfing, from sub-culture to multi-million dollar sport, covering the history, the riots, the personalities, the
classic waves, technical tips, the culture and the way of life, all with excellent photos and that Bruce Brown “endless summer”
style text.
This came out back in 1997, but it feels current by the way it covers Laird’s tow-in adventures and all the aerial moves currently
going on. OK it’s missing some of the latest pictures and riders, but it has a very complete (yet brief) history of surfing. It’s
always good to know where you’re coming from to know where you’re going to – have a look at the 80’s section and all the neon
colours!
I really enjoy flicking through this one; it’s sort of a big mag. you can go over and over again. Plus, being so old you’ll
probably be able to pick this one up in a bargain bin!
