It's the story of a man without whom surfing would have never been as cool. - L'Equipe Sport & Style about John Severson's SURF "Il nous offre une plongée passionnante dans l’histoire du surf d’après-guerre. Et dans sa vie. Celle d’un homme sans qui le surf n’aurait sans doute jamais été aussi cool." #johnseverson #SURF #yater #pukapuka #lequipe

Mahalo @amazon for nominating John Severson'€™s SURF (Puka Puka/Damiani) #3 in Sports for Amazon Best Books of 2014. We are ecstatic that an Art monograph has made the journey to the east in Sports. In SURF, John Severson replies to questions about the dual guise of surfing as sport/art: "At first we referred to it as our sport, but as we matured, it seemed more like jazz--€“improvisational. You draw these beautiful lines; sharp, lazy curves, drawn out, or they can just carve sleekly through the wave. You move like a dancer on the liquid stage, through fields of color..turquoise, beautiful phthalo blues, soft greens, and maybe an iridescent jade in the lip. Colors are changing in the sky, in the water..a reef flies by underneath you..it's great art on a natural canvas."
