2.0 out of 5 starsHis best stuff isn't in this book.
By Wave Hog on May 31, 2007
Format: Hardcover
It depends on what you're looking for. Yes there are many pages of nice photos of SoCal 1960s beach culture, and lots of pages are taken up with the surfmag ads Grannis shot, for boards and boardshorts. But I was hoping for and expected the majority of the photos to be of SURFING! There are surf photos but not enough. Plus I was expecting to see certain awesome photos Grannis took, Johnnie Fain in a radical bottom turn at overhead Malibu, Dora hanging five, Butch Van Artsdalen flying down a bitchin' big Pipeline wall on a longboard; classic stuff and the very best of Grannis. Unfortunately not a single one of those shots are in the book. They ARE available on his website, for sale in collections of 9 for the absurd price of between $3000 and $7000!!!

5.0 out of 5 starsPhotos by A Legend
By Jon S. on October 3, 2011
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Leroy Grannis was one of the surfing world's most superb photographers and had been a surfer since the 1930s. He recently died in CA at the age of 93. His images are crisp, clear and colourful. More importantly they evoke nostalgia for an innocent era, a time when surfing was pure fun, less commericalized, and less competitive than today. Even when there were competitions they were more for love of the sport than for big cash purses and TV celebrity appearances. Grannis' work is worth every penny.

5.0 out of 5 starsIt's a wonderful reminder of Leroy.
By J. Lees on May 13, 2009
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
When I see the book on the coffee table it will always remind me of the days spent windsurfing with Leroy and talking about photography and surfing. I grew up on Tourmaline street in Pacific Beach and this book takes me back to another time. It's a historical document that is appreciated by geezer surfers like myself.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat surfing pictures!
By Alyssa Sweeney on November 4, 2007
Format: Hardcover
This was a gift for my husband. He LOVED IT! It had great pictures of surfing throughout the years. It was neat to take a look back in time. I am going to purchase another book for my brother, who is also an avid surfer.

2.0 out of 5 starsToo little, too late!
By Cinthi on August 15, 2014
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
The book did not have the beautiful cover jacket or picture on the front, as depicted on the left, and was smaller than expected. I could tell my husband was disappointed with it. Additionally, it was late in arriving.

5.0 out of 5 starsIn My Opinion......
By R. Douglass on August 23, 2007
Format: Hardcover
In my opinion, this book is one of THE BEST surf books ever. The visuals are clean and classic and takes one back to the golden age of surfing. The writing is short but informative. LeRoy Grannis put his stamp in this world and is a legend among all surf photographers. I am a big fan of Mr. Grannis and of surfing as well.
Buy the book, put it on your coffee table, have some friends over and discuss.

Would have been nice if this fact was clearly mentioned and not being so obscure.
Is it too much to ask to get the English language version?

5.0 out of 5 starsI flipped through this once at a Barnes and Nobel a few years ago and...

Wow. Surfing is a really photogenic sport. While there are a lot of beautiful things about surfing, looking at it through the lens of Grannis brings me a special joy.
