Watermen
Product information
What makes a real Waterman? He can not only swim and dive and fish and surf and sail - he simply does everything on and in the water, because that's where he feels at home!
This book is dedicated to the best surfers, the stars on the SUP board, the bravest big wave surfers, the most spectacular kiters and the most legendary windsurfers. A tribute to all men and women who feel damn comfortable in the water. Sensational pictures of dramatic action from the world's best watermen are garnished with stirring and interesting stories. A must for anyone who loves water sports!
Legends, spectacular deeds, unbelievable records:
Hawaii and the beginnings - from James Cook to Columbus to Eddie Aikau.
All the watermen of the modern era, from Robbie Naish to Laird Hamilton and Garrett McNamara.
The young and wild ones like the two Hawaiians Kai Lenny, who is at home and successful in almost all disciplines, Maya Gabeira from Brazil, one of the best big wave surfers, Matt Meola, who redefined air tricks in surfing, Bethany Hamilton, US professional surfer, who lost her left arm in a tiger shark attack in 2003.
All German watermen such as the German-Austrian big wave surfer Sebastian Steudtner, Sonni Hönscheid, multiple German surfing champion, and windsurfer Klaas Voget.
All events, all spots and all information about the equipment.
The title "Waterman" was originally bestowed by the scene, with its origins in Hawaii. Being given this title is the greatest honor anyone can receive in the number one surfing destination.
When is this title awarded? Is versatility more important than creativity when it comes to qualifying? Is the height of the waves ridden more important or is it the way they are ridden? Or is the best waterman simply the one who can hold his breath the longest? Difficult, difficult. The industry has been jumping on the bandwagon for a few years now and the so-called SIMA ("Surf Industry Manufacturers Association") awards the title of "Waterman of the Year" every year. Incidentally, the title can also be awarded to women.
