Book Suggestion: The California Surf Project

The book suggestion of this week is not exactly about design, but it is really inspiring in terms of photography and for those who enjoy surf, the style and culture behind the sport. The book is called The California Surf Project

Quit your job, pack your boards, and surf your way down the California coast…. Sound like a daydream? The California Surf Project is the fully illustrated travel diary of two surfers who took this trip of a lifetime. Chris Burkard, a talented photographer, and Eric Soderquist, a professional surfer, cajoled their Volkswagen bus along Highway 1 from the Oregon border to the Tijuana Sloughs and discovered everything the Golden State’s legendary coastline has to offer. Relive their incredible adventure of surfing perfect waves, sharing campfires with total strangers, and keeping the bus running with duct tape and prayers in more than 200 gorgeous photographs, soulful text, and a professionally produced thirty-minute DVD.
