The Book of Surfing

A Killer Guide

“Punches through the layers of profit-driven pastiche… radically new… addictably readable”
- Huck Magazine

In collaboration with author Michael Fordham (September, Adrenalin, Dazed & Confused) and publisher Random House Group, The Book of Surfing: A Killer Guide is an encyclopedic-sized tome segmented into 6 parts detailing every facet of surf culture. Art directed by A-Side, the project took over 8 months to complete and features original illustrations by Nick Radford (Frootful) as well as A-Side’s own, plus over 300 images from some of the most revered surf photographers in the world including Thomas Campbell, LeRoy Grannis, Albe Falzon, Andrew Kidman, Ron Church, Art Brewer and Jeff Divine.
