Ten Speed Press AFROSURF

Viel zu billig für die Materialgüte und inhaltliche Qualität. Sehr intressant aufgemacht und sehr empfehlenswert fernab dem üblichen Surftrash..

Wow. What an awesome book. From content to graphics, a completely engaging and informative read. Why is the story of surfing not shared more?! I will be giving this book as a gift over and over again.

I was looking forward to this book from online previews but they can't do it justice. It's a hefty book with one of the best covers I've seen in a long time. And you CAN judge this one by its cover. It maps out the African continent from a surfer's perspective but also shows the promise of the place, often so lacking in media coverage. A sense of promise comes with this book, and the people featured love Africa and its traditions and are optimistic for its future. The photographs and the graphic design are excellent. I'd highly recommend this to all fans of surfing photography but would go further and recommend it to anyone with an eye for beauty and adventure.

This is a great book! I love that I found a book about African surfers. I was researching for books on Afro-Latino American Nick Gabaldón for my son’s Santa Monica Black History project and Afrosurf popped up as a recommendation.The graphic design, typography, and photography is beautiful. The information about African surf culture is fantastic and the vignettes on the surfers (all genders) is inspiring for all. I like this book so much that I bought 3 copies. One for the shelf, one for my children’s school library and another to cut up and frame. My 9 y.o. wanted some of the images in his bedroom.

I bought this book mostly for the photos. The stories are good as well. My only complaint is that the book doesn't showcase enough black women surfers and I know they exist. There are quite a few white male and female surfers celebrated in this book which was a bit of a surprise, so I know there could have been more effort with finding women of color to interview. It would have also been great to have information on how to buy the photo prints. Overall, I'm satisfied with my purchase and this makes a great coffee table book in my living room.
