Epic photography brings the stories of a unique group of global communities, and the surfers that represent them, to life. Told in their own words, some of the world s most exciting professional and freestyle surfers at different moments in their careers introduce the influential figures, places, and waves that have shaped their lives, and their surfing. From Ireland s rugged and unforgiving west coast to the famous beaches of Oahu, Hawaii, making stops across six continents along the way, Breitling provides a unique and unexpected window on the modern surf experience. The sport s inclusive spirit is what inspired the iconic watch brand a champion of surf culture and maker of timepieces for ocean pursuits since 1957 to highlight surf s wider community with a book dedicated to the sport s diverse characters, unexpected outposts, and collective culture. Based on interviews with surfers about the local communities they call home, The Breitling Book of Surfing is as much an in-depth travelogue as it is a beautiful photography book. It is for long-term surfing enthusiasts and newcomers alike, exploring the common values and passions that shape this diverse and dynamic global community connected by the ocean.
