There is much more to surfing than palm trees and beach boy clichés. People surf not only in Hawaii, but also in norway, South Korea, and India. Surf Odyssey is a book about the world of surfing today and those that live in it. This community is made up of the surfers themselves as well as surf photographers and board builders who are also spreading its distinctive spirit into other creative fields. Comparable to the new outdoor movement, surfing is about an attitude toward life, a lust for adventure, and a love of nature that one can only find far away from established spots. Surf Odyssey presents the places, people, stories, and brands. Its stunning photography is sure to inspire many further surfing exploits.
