All Those Summers

The 1960’s were a seminal era in the sport of surfing, especially in Hawai`i, where a bold new breed of surfer plied the waters of Ala Moana and Pipeline, Haleiwa and Honolua Bay. These homegrown young men and women surfed in the wake of the sport’s pioneers — Island chiefs who rode in days of antiquity and Hawaiian waterman who popularized the sport in the turn-of-the-century Waikiki. In All those Summers, Michael McPherson — a noted ‘60s surfer in his own right — captures the color and spirit of the times with powerful poetry and prose.

All Those Summers artfully blends McPherson’s vivid word pictures with the period photography of David Darling and Tim McCullough and the spectacular contemporary imagery of young Zak Noyle. Foreword by John R.K. Clark.
