Re-evolution in surfing publications

Endorsed officially by the International Surfing Association and featuring the ASP World Tour Annual Revue, The Surfing Yearbook is the first book ever to cover surfing in all its territories, large and small, around the world. The book has successfully achieved and exceeded what managing editor Phil Jarratt said at the outset of this project as follows;

“What we’re aiming to do with The Surfing Yearbook is to present a fully-rounded picture of surfing that will appeal to everyone in the sport, culture and industry, from the lowliest grom surfing in his first amateur comp to the high-rolling CEO of the biggest surf corporations. We’re targeting the grom first because we know the CEOs will follow."

Phil expanded, "Whilst the book will include contest results from all over the world, competitive surfing is not its sole focus. For every surfer who has to know who won what and how, there is another who is far more interested in swell prediction, the environment and how climate change might affect the surf, or how surfboard design was progressed during the year".
