Surf movies have been around since the late 50s, starting with the overblown Gidget flicks that detailed little about what was really happening in surf culture. It was an interesting series of movies with fake surf shots and pretty boy actors trying to emulate the surfer look. It wasn’t until Bruce Brown’s Endless Summer in 1966 that mainstream America got a real taste of the surfing lifestyle.

John Severson (www.surferart.com), Hall of Fame surfer and founder of the Surfer Magazine, creates some very fine surfer art. We checked his website and found some nice fotos, posters and paintings.

We thought to give the sport some of its magic - in form of a new blog category: surf art. There are many artists from different fields like fotography, music and literature playing with waves, surf and the surf attitude. We present them and their projects / works.

If you know a talented artist, known or unknown, let us know and we can feature his / her work right here.
We have also a (small) collection of fotos prepared for you. We hope you like them and of course, you can use them - check our surf art section (you can see the link also on the sidebar under “pages”).
