Matt Warshaw
Matt Warshaw knows more about surfing than any other person on the planet, as evidenced by The History of Surfing, Warshaw's definitive take on the sport. Now he has honed that book into an abridged and excerpted edition for surfers everywhere. Each spread features a micro essay alongside an image capturing a slice of surf history, from Kelly Slater and the invention of the thruster to shark attacks and localism. A Brief History of Surfing deftly defines surf culture in an entertaining and irresistible volume with wide appeal.

Cliff's Notes for Surfing History

What bothered me were some glaring omissions.
Among these : where is mention of Florida’s Mike Tabling ? Probably the best East Coast surfer of the 60’s ( not the obnoxious self promoting Gary Proper)and our version of the West Coast’s Mike Doyle who is also overlooked.As for the women, no mention of Rell Sunn is sacrilege , and where is Frida Zamba? Probably the best surfer ever to
come out of Florida until Kelly Slater arrived on the scene
Minor gripes would include some explanation of what makes good surf( are the words “ offshore winds” ever mentioned?)
No mention of the great surf to be found in Central America or at Puerto Escondido
