Surfing | Fred Bernard

"This book succeeds in capturing what is perhaps the deepest, the most mysterious, the most personal for me in surfing, and which has never left me since my childhood dreams" Kelly Slater

Surfing is a very old ritual activity that became a competitive sport for the initiated, then a hobby practiced on a large scale. A global phenomenon, it has generated its own philosophy, a musical movement, feature films, an industry, specific clothing and a lot of books...

Has everything been said and written, for all that? No.

By crossing their emotions and their reflections, Alain Bourdon - creator of the reference Instagram account on surfing The minimalist Wave - and Fred Bernard - best-selling author - create THE book that has never been published before on the subject: the one that restores the spirit of it, through text and illustration.


A unique graphic journey, a refreshing ode to the surf wave and everything it has brought with it.
