Mark Occhilupo

Child star at sixteen, ranked third in the world at seventeen, winner of the Pipeline Masters at nineteen - Mark Occhilupo looked set to sweep all before him with a radical, spontaneous, irresistible brand of surfing. Yet a spiralling descent into drug abuse and depression snuffed his flame out prematurely, when he quit the pro tour at just twenty-two. Faltered comebacks, spectacular bursts of free-surfing and manic breakdowns followed, as the surfing world watched a freakish talent self-combust.
After years spent immobile and overweight on the couch, in his so-called 'Elvis period', Occy eventually emerged from his cocoon, reborn and ready to tackle a whole new generation of surf stars.
His celebrated comeback to win the world title in 1999, sixteen years after his career began, is a sporting fairytale without equal.
Now for the first time, in his own words, Occy tells the complete, remarkable story of his spectacular ...

In an effort to have an answer to the question,
'What are you doing now, Sully?'
inveterate traveller Sullivan McLeod started to tell people he'd decided to become a professional surfer.
Then somehow he was registered in the World Qualifying Series (WQS) and found he was going ahead with his stupid idea. If you want to be a pro, this is where you start. So, despite the fact that he was unfit physically, financially and possibly mentally, Sullivan goes into training for his nine months on the circuit, with frequent sidetracking into drinking and partying, but he does actually make it to most of the heats. Along the way he has to work out how to get to the next competition in the next country on his very tight budget, and he shares his highly entertaining observations about Americans, Brazilians, the Brits, French and ex-pat Australians, to name but a few.
And he has his fair share of mishaps: he gets locked up in a ...

Reclusive and gregarious, cocksure and cryptic, uncompromising and contradictory, Miki 'Da Cat' Dora was surfing's most outspoken practitioner, chief anti-hero and enduring mystery. At a time when the Beat poets were howling about the need to just, like, be yourself, man, Miki and a small group of social fringe-dwellers were realising those desires on the translucent swells of Southern California. But who was the real Miki Dora? Born in Los Angeles in 1934, Miklos Sandor Dora was one of the pioneers of the 50's surf scene - chasing wave after perfect, empty wave, from San Onofre to Malibu to Rincon. But as the beaches became more crowded and the businessmen took over the sport, Miki turned his back on the culture that had made him a hero, preferring instead the life of an outlaw. His scams caught up with him and in 1973 he was charged with fraud, but he skipped bail and went on the run.He was finally arrested in France in 1981 and ...

In the winter of 1975, South African and Australian upstarts Shaun Tomson, Rabbit Bartholomew and Mark Richards went to Hawaii with little else than their surfboards and their love of surfing. With their incredible skills and raw ambition, they not only set a new standard for wave riding, but also succeeded in transforming surfing from a casual pastime into a viable profession. Published to coincide with a documentary feature film narrated by Academy Award nominee Edward Norton, "Bustin' Down the Door" tells the incredible story of these free ride pioneers. With essays by the surfing legends themselves, along with previously unpublished photographs by award-winning photographers such as Dan Merkel, "Bustin' Down the Door" re-creates the genesis of modern surfing from the perspective of the visionaries who turned their unlikely dreams into reality and revolutionized the sport of surfing.

Kelly Slater

With its tiny waves, Cocoa Beach, Florida, isn't exactly a breeding ground for future world-champion surfers. When Kelly Slater was a grommet growing up there, his biggest goal was to one day make it out far enough to catch the two-foot waves his dad and brother were riding.
Life in the Slater household wasn't perfect, and as his parents' marriage fell apart and his dad battled alcoholism, Slater escaped to the beach and found peace on a surfboard. Within a few years, his insatiable thirst for competition and an uncanny - almost innate - understanding of the physics of surfing would soon catapult him into the ranks of the very gods of the sport he'd worshipped, and into the thundering walls of water they faced along the North Shore of Hawaii and around the world.

The tale of Bunker Spreckels (1949-1977) reads like a pitch for a movie to rival "Boogie Nights". The stepson of Clark Gable is a privileged Los Angeles party boy who is heir to a multimillion dollar fortune; passionate about surfing, marshal arts, guns, and women, he lives the life of a debauched international jet-setter before succumbing to his excesses at the tender age of 27. Born Adolph B. Spreckels III, heir to the Spreckels sugar fortune, Bunker became a famous surfer as a teenager, but after his inheritance came along, he began to slip into a life of pomp and excess where surfing took a back seat to drugs, sex, and wild road trips. So remarkable was his lifestyle that he created an alter-ego who invited photographers and documentarists to trail him, piecing together a tell-all epic of his own rise to fame and fortune. Before the project, known as "The Player", could be completed, Spreckels suddenly died of "natural causes." ...

In the world of surfing there are legends, and then there's Eddie Aikau. 'Eddie would go', they said, and he did, whatever the weather, whatever the danger. For ten years he was the king of Hawaii's north shore, riding the biggest waves and taming the most dangerous breaks. For ten years he saved countless lives, until tragically, in the end, he sacrificed his own to save his friends. Eddie Aikau grew up in Waikiki, the birthplace of modern surfing, and was riding waves almost as soon as he could walk. By the age of 21 he was the rising star of Hawaii's north shore, always first in the water, always last to leave. Soon he became a lifeguard at Waimea Bay, home to the biggest and most treacherous waves of all. Eddie was a true waterman, and for the rest of his short life, Waimea Bay would be his playground, office and home all in one. Though Eddie was always a modest man, he was a proud Hawaiian, and in the mid-1970s he found himself at ...

One of the greatest surfers of all time, Greg Noll has built a considerable reputation as master of surfboard making, or "shaping."
Today, collectors and surfers alike prize his unique brand of board.

Now living in Crescent City, California, Noll still shapes twelve boards a year out of old-growth salvage woods-replicas of Duke Kahanamoku's Solo and other exotica for collectors.
