Turn and Go! covers 50 years of wave riding in the author's trademark, surf-informed style. Vivid and thought provoking, this new volume speaks to the lasting value of the surfing act at a time when the activity would do well to check its compass. Few, save the author, have five decades of publication from which to draw. Fewer still had access to surfing's greatest minds: the riders, the shapers, the designers. Turn and Go! assemble them all for your enjoyment and benefit. We are especially pleased to present this collection of work from our co-founder and original editor.
