City Surf : San Francisco
CITY SURF tells the story of City Surf Project, a group of San Francisco surfers connecting underrepresented youth to the ocean and themselves through surfing. Featuring powerful stories from CSP’s students and a plurality of characters from the city’s fringe saltwater society – surfers who come from all walks of life – this beautiful hardcover coffee table book documents San Francisco’s unique urban surf culture and its impact on the city’s youth. Shot entirely on film by Nathan Lawrence and filled with more than 200 original photos, CITY SURF is a celebration of what it means to be a city surfer and how surfing and the ocean are changing young lives in San Francisco.
