Omissions, corrections and/or additions to items published/released before 01/01/2008? Please email me
- it would help if you made SURFING the first word on your
subject line.
Please note that these lists will not include any items published/released after 01/01/2008 until further notice.
The reason is that I simply don't have the time to keep maintaining these web pages for the foreseeable future.

This is a very detailed history of surfing and surfing related topics on film,
video and television in Australia. It also contains masses of information on
surfing films etc in other countries - mainly English speaking it has to be
said! Thoms is a film maker in his own right so the book contains as much
commentary on technique, style and equipment as film content. If you're
interested in surf films or surfing history in general - read it.
