SURF-RIDING: ITS THRILLS AND TECHNIQUES

By O. B. Patterson
(1961)

Signed second printing of this book that rode the crest of the US surf craze, explaining the techniques of the sport as well as its Hawaiian history.

Very good plus in very good dust jacket.

"To know fully the thrills of life one must live!"

Don't let the suit-and-tie portrait on the rear flap fool you: O. B. Patterson did his fair share of hanging ten as "an active surfer for many years in both Hawaii and California" (flap).
