Description
Waves: Pro Surfers and Their World is a visually stunning surfing photography book by professional photographer Thom Gilbert. Over four years, Gilbert immersed himself among elite professional surfers in California, Hawaii, New York, and Spain, capturing intimate portraits and dramatic action shots both in and out of the water. This hardcover coffee table book offers a rare glimpse into the culture and personalities shaping modern professional surfing.
Rather than focusing solely on surfers riding waves, Gilbert documents the faces, expressions, and environments surrounding surf culture. The collection includes 300 photographs that highlight both emerging talent and established legends in the global surfing scene. The imagery captures athleticism, lifestyle, travel, and the community built around wave riding.
Featuring Q&As and handwritten contributions from prominent surfing figures, the book serves as both visual archive and cultural tribute. Published in 2019 with a foreword by big wave surfer Garrett McNamara, this 240-page hardcover volume weighs over 3 pounds and measures 11.25" H x 9.375" W x 1" D. Waves stands as an ode to professional surfers and the world they inhabit.
