The Beachboys: A Gust Of Fresh Air Through The Smog And Fumes Of Modern Life

By William Ward Martin

Pindar long ago wrote, "Unsung, the noblest deed will die." That immortal line inspired the writing of The Beachboys, a commemoration of an all but forgotten group of surfers of the 1940s and early 1950s. To know their world is to experience what has been the envy of every person, here or abroad, who has been drawn to the California mystique. They were called the Sunset Surfers. They had no store-bought boards, no wetsuits, no leashes, no surfing magazines to pump them up. Their calling was more than the surf. It was the elements and their unique camaraderie. They had their own world and their own testimonies of which some are captured in this book. The result: an uplifting for the reader which he cannot get from any other place or time.Read an excerpt at: www.spacelandpublications.com
