AbstractHistoryArchive Description

From the landlocked boondocks of country Victoria to the wild coast of West Papua, Deep Water follows Brendan McAloon's remarkable journey to the most remote corners of the globe in search of the perfect wave. Evocative and mesmerising, Deep Water travels from isolated Indonesian island chains to Hawaii's infamous North Shore, from Tahiti's Tuamotu Atolls to the velvet green fields of Ireland, the unearthly suspense of an Icelandic winter, and beyond. Illustrated by images from the world's leading surf photographers such as Jon Frank and Ted Grambeau, the text and imagery combine to capture the allure of travelling to exotic wave locations and present compelling portraits of some of the biggest names in the surfing world, including world champions Mick Fanning and Kelly Slater.
