High Surf
Tim Baker has profiled the surfing world’s most inspiring characters, encountered over two decades of surf writing, to highlight the life lessons and boundless inspiration to be gained from a lifestyle built around waveriding. From salty old surf legends to modern pro-surf stars, to surfers from all walks of life – writers, musicians, aid workers, ethicists – the common theme in all these surfers’ lives is how their personal journeys have been shaped and informed by their experiences in the ocean.
5 OUT OF 5 STARS, PURE SURF WISDOM.
“There’s an exquisite exhilaration in finding a writer you can really learn something from. We spend so much time reading information that’s devoid of wisdom. We’re information junkies. Information is important, but wisdom is more important – and also more rare. I was blessed to come into contact with Tim Baker’s High Surf recently, a very wise compilation of Baker’s profiles of the most intriguing modern surf personalities, from Kelly Slater to Tim Winton to Dave Rastovich, and many more. With my own deadlines looming, I can’t write a worthy review at the moment, but even better than anything I could say about the book, check out this short graph below from the introduction. It’s just a taste of how Baker will make you look at wave riding — and life — in an entirely new light.” Jaimal Yogis, author of Saltwater Buddha, All Our Waves Are Water and The Fear Project.
