Summary

''Big-wave surfing has long been a part of the sport, but with more watermen pushing the boundaries, this subculture of the surf world is now moving out of the fringes. The current generation of surfers is continually reinventing the limits, making this the most advanced, dynamic, and exciting period in big-wave surfing history. This stunning coffee-table book captures the essence of the sport through breathtaking images and stories, as well as exclusive interviews with the surfers who play the starring roles during these rare, large-swell events. More than a collection of bigwave photographs, The Finest Line covers the giant, hallmark sessions from the most impressive spots around the globe, including Western Australia (Cow Bombie and The Right) and Tasmania (Shipsterns and Perda Branca), among others, capturing the international flavour of the sport and exploring the insatiable drive of a rare breed of thrill seekers.''
