Divine Surf: Five Decades of Surfing Action and Culture

Jeff Divine

"Five decades of surfing captured through the lens of the legendary photographer, showcasing his most iconic and never-before-seen images that chronicle the sport's spirit from its mid-1960s subculture roots to its mainstream rise. Beginning in La Jolla in 1965, Divine documented surfing's evolution from a close-knit subculture into a global phenomenon, building one of the sport's most significant visual archives. This career-spanning collection brings together his most iconic photographs alongside rare, never-before-seen images. From California's golden 1960s and 1970s surf scene to Hawaii's heavy North Shore swells, and from South Africa to Tahiti, Divine's lens reveals the beauty, style, and attitude that shaped generations of surfers. His work also traces early explorations of remote surf frontiers, capturing the thrill of discovery long before these destinations were widely known"--
