Tom Blake: The Uncommon Journey of a Pioneer Waterman


Our unparalleled collection of surfing literature grew dramatically due to continued donations by our long-time surf collection supporters Joe Tabler and Allen Kukel. Old and new classics, journals and magazines, novels, ephemera and games make up this wonderful collection, which now numberes over 350 items. Tom Blake: The Uncommon Journey of a Pioneer Waterman is a limited edition series by Gary Lynch, 2001.
