Laid-Back Living by the Water
"Surf Shack highlights many of the aspects that make surfing such a compelling pursuit—with captivating photographs of homes that reflect the owners' authentic love of wave riding and a deep respect for nature."—Paul Speaker, CEO, The World Surf League
For those who combed Cabin Porn for inspiration and The New Bohemians for authenticity, here are the bungalows, trailers, cabins, and beach homes where surfers retreat after a day on the waves. Peek inside houses of longtime enthusiasts and dedicated newcomers that reflect not just a sport or passion, but also a way of life. Blake and Heather Mycoskie of TOMS, hotelier Sean MacPherson, Gypset author Julia Chaplin, and others have set up their homes as quiet harbors that embraces a casual ease, the break between the waves. With vibrant photographs of design details and bright beaches—from Malibu to the Rockaways, from Japan to Australia—this book captures the soulful milieu of a lifestyle we all aspire to.
