The Christmas List
Leroy Grannis: Surf Photography of the 1960s and 1970s (Hardcover)
by Steve Barilotti and Leroy Grannis (Photographer)
This collection, drawn from Grannis’s personal archives, showcases an impressive selection of surf photographs - from the bliss of catching the perfect wave to dramatic wipeouts at Oahu’s famed North Shore. An innovator in the field, Grannis suction-cupped a waterproof box to his board, enabling him to change film in the water and stay closer to the action than other photographers of the time. Equally notable is his work covering an emerging surf lifestyle, from “surfer stomps” and hoards of fans at surf contests to board-laden woody station wagons along the Pacific Coast Highway. It is in these iconic images when surfing was at its bronzed best
