Join the celebration of the diverse, vibrant, and engaged community of women riding and making waves around the globe.
While surfing is usually seen as a male domain, women have long been nurturing their own water stories and claiming their rightful place in the world of this sport. She Surf hails the females, past and present, who are engaged in expanding the art of surfing. Through exclusive interviews and evocative imagery, the book travels from the iconic waves of Hawai'i to remote locations in Morocco.
Learn about the history of female surfing, discover the story of Polynesian princesses, follow the first female surfers in the 1960s and meet the contemporary shakers of the modern surfing scene.
"This is much more than a book, it is an artifact. The pages are filled with glossy contemporary images, vintage illustrations, and film photographs, all capturing the joy and grace of women in the water throughout the decades." Surf Station

"Given the contemporary surfing story has undoubtedly, at times, suffered from a lack of diversity, this is sure to be an important contribution to the lexicon of our sport." The World Surf League
"balances between high-quality photography and insightful content perfectly." Surfer Today
