She Surf: The Rise of Female Surfing

From Australian surfer Lauren Hill.

This title hails the women and girls, past and present, who are engaged in expanding the art of surfing. An exciting reflection on what it means to be a female surfer and what it means to be moved to action by the beauty of the sea. Through exclusive interviews and evocative imagery, the book travels from the iconic waves of Hawaii to remote locations in Morocco.
