Legends of Surfing: The Greatest Surfriders from Duke Kahanamoku to Kelly Slater and Crafty Blogger links!

Mixing it up today I thought I'd share with you this cool video about this new book Legends of Surfing (or just listen to the killer tune) while you read the Crafty Blogger links. If you know someone who is into surfing this would make a great gift, and it's never too soon to start that holiday shopping.

Legends of Surfing: The Greatest Surfriders from Duke Kahanamoku to Kelly Slater   
 
Author: Duke Boyd
Photographer: Jeff Devine
Foreword: Steve Pezman

Surfing, Jack London remarked, is "a royal sport for the natural kings of earth." The greatest of those natural kings grant readers an audience in this glorious celebration of the world's best surfers. Part exquisite picture book and travelogue to the top of the world, part biography and reference guidebook, Legends of Surfingprofiles one hundred great surfers, men and women, from throughout the world. In life stories, and in exclusive interviews—which only the surfing icon Duke Boyd could have pulled off—stellar surfers such as Wayne Bartholomew, Tom Curren, Andy and Bruce Irons, Duke Kahanamoku, Dave Kalama, Gerry Lopez, Rob Machado, Mark Occhilupo, and Kelly Slater give us a rare firsthand look at what it's like, in this crowded world, to "seek and find the perfect day, the perfect wave, and be alone with the surf and his thoughts." (John Severson, Surfer magazine, 1960)
