| 2002 Ziolkowski, Thad : On A Wave - a memoir about coming of age...and surfing. Scribe Publications PO Box 523 Carlton North , Victoria, Australia 3054. Soft cover, 259 pages. Review Beautifully written, this work essentially details the author's surfing career from age 10 to 15, circa 1970 to 1975. With excellent recall, perhaps refreshed with some added research, the historical and technical surfing details are exact. Many specifics developments of the period are addressed including the short board revolution, circa 1968 - 1969; backyard butchery, circa 1970; twin fins, circa 1971 - 2; and leg ropes, circa 1974. He also comments on the rarity of excellent waves, group dynamics, surfing contests and skateboards. Particular note should be made of the large influence of Surfer magazine. |

| 1956 Harkins, Philip: Young Skin Diver William Morrow and Company, New York, 1956. Hard cover, 188 pages, black and white plates. Review Juvenile novel relating how two young surfers, after near drowning suspend surfing, become enthusiastic skin-divers after their rescue by a staff member of California's Scripps Research Institute. With the slightest touch of teenage romance, this early surfing novel was quickly drowned in the monstrous wave of Frederick Kohner's Gidget, published in 1957, followed by seven more Gidget novels, three films and a television series. Without the drama of the near-fatal drowning, the book, to some extent, foretells the career of big wave surfer, Duke contest winner and oceanographer, Ricky Grigg. See: Grigg, Ricky and Church, Ron : Surfer in Hawaii : A Guide to ... the Hawaiian Islands (1963) and Grigg, Ricky: Big Surf, Deep Dives and the Islands - My Life in The Ocean (1998). |
