Capture the surfing world through the lens of photographer Jim Russi. Over 180 warm, dazzling photos from around the globe take readers on this surfing tour de force through Hawaii, Tahiti, California, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Fiji, Bali, Indonesia, and the islands off South Africa. The engaging text provides stories from the photographer's global travels, adding an additional dimension to the brilliant photos and fascinating encounters with celebrities in the surfing world and other realms. Learn how Jim discovered a theme that would direct his work from that point forward during a shoot in 1997: "the simple fun of surfing-showing a lifestyle that anyone could relate to, not simply appealing to hard-core surfers and dreamers alike." Give yourself a chance to dream. You will be glad you did.
