Pioneer Series Volume 2
John Severson: Surf Fever
Weight: 7.00
In 1960, The Surfer, a 32-page booklet of John Severson's evocative, mystical, B&W 16mm frame grabs, several of his distinctive pen-and-ink sketches, and even a literate short fiction, went on-sale at surf shops promoting his wildly popular film, Surf Safari. In three years, that elegant little booklet had morphed into Surfer magazine, the bible of a booming and influential lifestyle sport. Now 45 years later, in a very personal sharing, John expands the primal stoke of his original The Surfer into a full-blown handsome hardcover book featuring a comprehensive selection of his classic images, personally edited, written, and designed at his Maui art studio. Surf Fever is a historical must-have for pre-70's gremmies, all those involved in the sport and culture, and for collectors building comprehensive surf libraries. 2004, Hardcover, 11.25" X 11.25", 216 pages,
