Sixty Years in the Line-Up

the first issue of Severson's 'Surfer' magazine
"Before John Severson, there was no 'surf media,' no 'surf industry,' and no 'surf culture'—at least not in the way we understand it today." So wrote journalist Sam George in 1999. Some would say surfing was better off without all that, but they can't dispute the value of Severson's photographs. They're out now, in a volume titled, simply, Surf (lots o' pix): http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/gallery/2014/aug/18/breakers-boards-and-backflips-vintage-surfing-photography-in-pictures
