Surfing Champion Releases Revised History of Surfing
Explore the Evolution of Surfing, From Its Historical Roots to Modern Offshoot Sports

Sydney, Australia—January—Nat Young is recognized as one of the great surfers in the history of the sport, having won the world championship in 1966. At that time his new power-oriented surfing style was based on surfing a shorter board than was traditionally used. He is credited with starting the style which was the basis for contemporary surfing. With a lifetime of involvement with surfing and a deep interest in its history, he is the perfect person to discuss the sport’s evolution, as he does in The Complete History of Surfing: From Water to Snow (Gibbs Smith, Publisher, January, $39.95). The original version of Young’s The History of Surfing is the biggest selling surf book in the world with sales in excess of 150,000 in both hard and soft cover.
