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 The book expands dramatically on the exhibition with lots of additional historical content.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.
