Surfboats: Boats that Brave the Breaking Wave

by Daniel Hardie

This is the story of the worldwide efforts to build boats to launch and come ashore in the surf; boats like the Jangadas of Brazil, the Unsinkable Lifeboats of the British Isles, Irish skin boats, American dories, Viking longboats and many other craft. It also describes the development of Australia’s modern surf boat racing tradition. The work is illustrated with authentic diagrams, photographs, drawings and art works including painted realisations by the author.
