Surfline announces the release World Wide Waves, a series of in-depth, photo-rich books, with each volume focusing on one of the best waves in the world by celebrating its history, profiling its surfers, and examining the mechanics of the wave itself.
Surfline World Wide Waves Volume 1: Jeffreys Bay - Down the Line at the World's Best Pointbreak.
In this first volume, authors Marcus Sanders and Kimball Taylor explore the history of Jeffreys Bay, South Africa, from its initial discovery in the early '60s to the burgeoning surf Mecca it has become today. Through the eyes of its surfers, the town they helped create, and the wave that brought them here, Sanders and Taylor assemble a storyline as dynamic as the lines drawn on the point itself--from the moments that changed surfing history, to the lives reflected upon Super's frosted walls, to the physical mechanics of the greatest pointbreak on Earth.
"Surfline is in a unique position to capture the story of J-Bay like never before," according to Dave Gilovich, Senior Vice President of Surfline. "We dove deep into the local history of J-Bay to bring it to life, and also brought in Surfline's Sean Collins and his incredible understanding of the weather systems and bathymetry that create this perfect wave. This isn't your typical coffee table photo book."
Billabong, whose history runs deep at J-Bay, partnered with Surfline to support development and distribution of the first book in the World Wide Waves series. Paul Naude, Billabong USA's President who was born and raised in Durban, South Africa surfing J-Bay early in its history, wrote the book's foreword. Cheron Kraak, CEO of Billabong South Africa, and others at Billabong, contributed a significant amount of local knowledge to help bring this book to life.
Jeffreys Bay - Down the Line at the World's Best Pointbreak takes the reader through a rich, seven chapter journey:
*Chapter 1: The Meeting Place
*Chapter 2: The Making of A Mecca
*Chapter 3: Singlefins, Pot Busts, And Impossible Tubes
*Chapter 4: The Slow, Crooked Climb to Respectability
*Chapter 5: Explosions Heard Round the World
*Chapter 6: The Rise of the WCT

This full-color, 192-page book also features more than 100 photographs by surfing's best lensmen, including Art Brewer, Aaron Chang, Dan Merkel, John Callahan, Jeff Divine, Pete Frieden, Rob Gilley, Tom Servais, Lance Slabbert, and Chris Van Lennep. And with two gatefold spreads that open up four feet wide to capture J-Bay's magnitude, this book is a must-have for anyone who's ever made (or wanted to make) the surfer's pilgrimage to Jeffreys Bay.
