From the publisher:" This collection, drawn from Grannis's personal archives, showcases an impressive selection of surf photographs, from the bliss of catching the perfect wave at San Onofre to dramatic wipeouts at Oahu's famed North Shore. An innovator in the field, Grannis suction-cupped a waterproof box to his board, enabling him to change film in the water and stay closer to the action than other photographers at the time. Equally notable is his work covering an emerging surf lifestyle. 

This copy is signed and numbered #0348.
