Life Around the Sea is an odyssey of Australia and an exploration into some of the remarkable individuals who have transformed the sea’s enduring embrace. You’ll be transported to Australian coastal villages, hinterland hideaways, remote beaches, and solitary shaping bays that form the backdrop to these unique lives.

In this book, we encounter people from all walks of life, such as the surfer who first felt the tender caress of a wave in their childhood, the fearless and infamous big wave riders, the artists drawn to the coastline to bring it’s ancient beauty to life, and the shapers who expertly craft boards for wave seekers around the globe.
