Generally regarded as the first book devoted to surfing. This instructional pamphlet on bodysurfing was written to address "the pitiful sight of thousands of swimmers, young and old, men and women, always trying and never succeeding" and to promote "this superb sport which in my opinion is still in its initial stages of development."
The author, Ronald Blake Drummond (1907-1996) was an icon of early surfing, heavily bearded and standing at 6'6". He went on to a career as a photographer, cartographer, and adventurer in northern Canada, Africa, and the South Pacific, but remained an active bodysurfer into the 1990s. 6 copies in OCLC.
