About the author: Shaun Tomson was the 1977 World Champion on the International Surfing Tour and spent fourteen years on the World Tour. He is the author of the bestselling Surfer’s Code. A native of South Africa, he lives in Santa Barbara, CaliforniaThe story:
During the winter of 1975 in Hawaii, surfing was shaken to it's core. A group of young surfers from Australia and South Africa sacrificed everything and put it all on the line to create a sport, a culture and an industry that is today worth billions of dollars and has captured the imagination of the world. With a radical new approach and a brash colonial attitude, these surfers crashed headlong into a culture that was not ready for revolution.
Surfing was never to be the same again.
