    The Ultimate Guide to Vintage Surfboards & Collectibles is like an encyclopedia of surf collectibles, chock-full of antique and vintage surfboards and surfing memorabilia. Within this huge 700 full-color page publication are more than 2,200 photographs, each one with a descriptive caption that also includes dates and a range of value for each board or collectible pictured.

    Beginning with the earliest known engravings of surfers from the 18th and 19th centuries, and surfboards that have survived since the late 1800s, the text and accompanying photographs will take you on a unique journey through the decades to the present.

    More than 500 of the most sought-after vintage surfboards and hundreds more figurines, paintings, drawings, trophies, posters, books, magazines, swimwear, ephemera & collectibles of every kind are pictured and captioned. This pictorial guide is not only interesting and fun, it’s a tremendous resource and invaluable tool for anyone with an interest in the sport of kings – a colorful book with everything any expert or novice hunter or gatherer could hope for – expect it to quickly pay for itself, and many times over.
