Surf shacks

More about the book

Surfing is a way of life, deeply intertwined with the waves and tides, offering a cozy pause in between. Surf Shacks showcases the diverse homes of surfers, from New York City apartments to tiny Hawaiian huts and cabins near national parks. These communities are rich in creativity, innovation, and unique personalities. The book delves into surfers' artistic habits and living spaces, revealing glimpses of their lives through record collections, backyard gardens, and painter studios. Each home tells a distinct story, whether it’s filmmaker Jess Bianchi’s remote Hawaiian nook, Hiromi Masubara’s woodsy paradise in Japan, or Ryan Lovelace’s converted bus that serves as both home and transport. The moments these vibrant individuals spend away from the waves are both captivating and nuanced. Through anecdotes, photographs, illustrations, and conversations, Surf Shacks uncovers a personal side of surfing and its eclectic characters. Indoek, a surf-centric blog, celebrates an independent wave-riding culture, curating content that reflects the passions and pursuits of this diverse community.
