Surfing Florida: A Photographic History has been published by University Press of Florida and is available through UPF, amazon.com, regional surf shops and local book stores. Thanks to everyone who participated and contributed. The book expands dramatically on the exhibition with lots of additional historical content. Still, its a fun read and visual pleasure.

Surf Expo is currently getting the walls up for our exhibit. It's a great space, very large, and right in the middle of the floor. They are also printing up three 10' x 12' banners for the exhibit, which will be hung from the rafters. Surfing Florida: A Photographic History will be hard to miss. Hope to see you there. It's January 10-12, 2013.
