This book is a timeless classic on a timeless age.
Wow the seventies were great. Wish I could have experienced them.
This book will take you in a wonderful time warp when surfing was pure.
So, much love was put into this book.
I am forever stoked on this book.
Radical imagery, fantastical surfers purely magical.

I ordered this book and had high expectations, which it certainly lived up to! My boyfriend is the surfer/photographer and we both thought the whole lay-out and design not to mention the photographs were wonderful. Definitely recommend this to any photography or surfer buff!

After my old friend Ron Stoner vanished into the mystic, Jeff Divine became my favorite surf photographer in the 70′s. His shots were clean- and-green or sharply contrasted black-and-white. One of the reasons the islands became so popular in the 70′s was Divine’s photos in SURFER. Everybody saw them, got stoked, and jumped on a 707. Whenever I reminisce about the old days of soul arches, single fins, and big bottom turns I pick this book off the shelf. Divine’s photographs reveal a stoke unique to the era. I saw Brad McCaul at my 30th high school reunion, and he’s still looks fit.

this is an amazing book- some of the best surf pictures (in my opinion) during one of the most visually inspiring era’s of surfing. the pages are arranged in such a way so as to not distract you from their content, the printing is awesome and there’s not a single shot not worthy of a poster size above your bed. this book will not harsh your mellow- it will make you want to move to lucadia, ride only a single fin & get a job wrapping surf wax for .25 cents per bar….
