Inhaltsangabe

In Surf Tribe, photographer Stephan Vanfleteren shows that there is far more to surf culture than just competitive sport. Surfing is also about a deep respect for the ocean, as well as that moment of insignificance surfers feel when confronted with the forces of nature. It's about battles won and lost, both with other surfers and with themselves. Vanfleteren looks beyond the traditional surf spots of California and Hawaii and searches the globe for people who live in places where sea and land meet. He documents a fluid community, which has nature as its one and only leader. He pictures talented youngsters as well as living icons and revered legends, competition surfers as well as free surfers. In this book there are no action shots on azure blue waves ; instead, you'll find serene black and white portraits in Vanfleteren's well-known, haunting style. He reveals the real person behind the surfer, in all his or her strength and vulnerability. This series of images penetrates to the true heart of surf culture : the love for the water, the addiction to the waves, the passion for the surf With more than 300 portraits of, among others, Kelly Slater, Gerry Lopez, John John Florence, Laird Hamilton, Bethany Hamilton, Greg Noll, Stephanie Gilmore, Mick Fanning, Joel Parkinson, Mickey Munoz, Filipe Toledo and Tom Carroll.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

An incomparable new photo
book about the international
surf culture by Stephan
Vanfleteren.
With Surf Tribe, photographer Stephan Vanfleteren shows
that there is far more to surf culture than just sport and
competition. Surfing is also about a deep admiration
and respect for the ocean, as well as the feeling of
insignificance when confronted with the forces of nature.
Surfers use the waves for fun, but also to forget and to
battle, both with others and with themselves.
Vanfleteren looks beyond the traditional borders of the
United States and Australia and searches the globe for
people who live in places where sea and land meet. He
documents a fluid community, which has nature as its
sole leader. He portrays both young talent as well as
living icons and old legends, both competition surfers and
freesurfers.
No action shots on azure blue waves but static and serene
black and white portraits in Vanfleteren's well-known,
haunting style, which show the real people behind the
surfers, in all their strength and vulnerability. A series of
images that penetrates to the true core of surf culture.
With hundreds of portraits of, amongst others, Kelly Slater,
Gerry Lopez, John John Florence, Mickey Munoz, Filipe
Toledo and Stephanie Gilmore.
With a preface by Gerry Lopez.
The book is published to coincide with the exhibition
of the same name in CC Scharpoord, Knokke-Heist
(24 March - 28 May 2018). Accompanied by an
extensive media campaign.
