Synopsis

"Surfing Stars" delivers a compelling journey through professional surfing's evolution, weaving together the stories of influential athletes who transformed a traditional Hawaiian pastime into a global sporting phenomenon. The book masterfully combines historical documentation with personal narratives, exploring how legendary figures like Duke Kahanamoku established fundamental techniques that would shape modern surfing culture.

 
Through carefully researched accounts, readers discover how the sport evolved from its ancient Polynesian roots to become a sophisticated athletic discipline incorporating elements of marine science, sports psychology, and advanced training methodologies. The narrative progresses chronologically, beginning with traditional Hawaiian watermen and moving through pivotal developments such as the shortboard revolution and the establishment of professional circuits.

 
What sets this book apart is its multi-faceted approach to understanding surfing excellence, examining not just the technical aspects of wave riding, but also the mental preparation and strategic decision-making required at elite levels. Drawing from extensive interviews, competition records, and scientific studies, it offers unique insights into how champions analyze conditions, assess risks, and push the boundaries of what's possible on a wave.

 
Throughout its chapters, the book bridges the gap between practical surfing knowledge and academic analysis, making complex concepts accessible to both enthusiasts and professionals. The exploration of modern developments, including artificial wave technology and evolving competition criteria, provides valuable context for understanding contemporary surfing's challenges and opportunities. This comprehensive examination of surfing's technical progression, psychological elements, and cultural impact creates an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the depth and complexity of professional surfing.

Once the face of South African auctions, he seemingly sank without a trace. But he was not beaten. A decade later Levitt has a thrilling rise-and-fall-and-rise-again story to tell. The lessons he learnt from suffering catastrophe and finding the tenacity to survive have laid the foundations for success. At once candid and controversial, Levitt’s story is ultimately an uplifting one, revealing that the greater the tsunami, the greater the lesson.

    The Tudor dynasty presided over one of the most dynamic periods in English history, an era that witnessed courtly conspiracies and public executions, religious reformation and exploration. Its fearsome monarchs transformed England from a minor medieval kingdom into a major player on the world stage. The Tudors reveals the complex personalities behind this powerful family, and the passions and jealousies that spurred them on. From the penny-pinching Henry VII to his profligate, wife-hungry son Henry VIII, and from the religious persecutions of Mary I to the ‘golden age' of her sister Elizabeth I, this is a gripping, entertaining romp through a fascinating age.
