About This Item
Layton, Utah: Gibbs Smith, 2007. First edition, first printing (full number line). Hardcover. Fine in fine jacket in archival mylar/fine. Small folio in chiefly blue color phot illus jacket; 176 pages : chiefly color illustrations ; 27 cm. To the best of our omniscience, this is the first book solely about women surfers. A lovely copy by an excellent publisher. "As the official counterculture sport of the 1960s, surfing was not just a sport but a lifestyle, with an unapologetically masculine culture. This notion has since been disproved by generations of amazing female surfers who have made an indellible mark on the sport."â Pubisher.
