SURFING - THE ULTIMATE PLEASURE by Leonard Lueras 1984 1st  edition soft cover
I found this review online and borrowed it as it perfectly describes this excellent book.
“This has to be one of the best "coffee-table" type surfing history books yet published.
The history is solid, with a heavy focus on Hawaii, including a lengthy chapter on Duke
Kahanamoku. Also included are chapters on the evolution of surfboard design, surf
music, and a surf filmography. The bibliography is extensive and detailed. The quality
of the writing is strong, the overall book design strong, but what puts this book above
most others of its genre is the outstanding photography throughout, with loads of turn
of the century vintage images, plus state-of-the-art color shots from the 1970s and 1980s.
Of course this book is now decades old and thus those expecting contemporary content
would be disappointed, but nevertheless this book is a great foundation for any surfing
history buff, with plenty of stellar visual content to please those with a more casual
interest in the sport.”
Book is 10 x 10 inches, 238 pages fully illustrated front to back in full color.
Condition is pre owned and very good to excellent. Clean, no marks.
