Great photos and EZ reading - captures early history of surfing in San Diego County.

Unbelievable book, amazing photos and great stories. Any surfer from San Diego will LOVE this...............

Very nice insights. Saw a few people in this book who I know (and respect). Author very knowledgeable about the past of the area's surfing culture (or lack there of ;-)), I'll be buying a few more for friends

For anyone who grew up in southern california in the 60's this book brings back some great memories. For anyone interested in the beach culture of this era this is a very accurate window into that space.
There are a limited amount of quality photos available of this time and place. This little book captures a nice mix of the major players who helped shape the culture and "joe ordinary" who found themselves shaped by the same events and lifestyle.
Surfing In San Diego,CA; is a nice companion piece to All For A Few Perfect Waves; the new Miki Dora Bio by David Resnin.

this is from my son, who received it as a gift from us. He knew several people memtioned in the book.Surfed wih some, worked with some at SURFER magazine. He really seemed to enjoy the book.
