By William Michael Marshall, Craig Stecyk, Rich Harbour, et al.

In an art form defined by innovative design, superb craftsmanship, and mindboggling attention to detail, Harbour Surfboards has earned a reputation for hand-fabricating breathtakingly elegant surfboards. In 1959, Rich Harbour went into his parents' garage with a saw and a piece of foam and came out with a surfboard. Since that first board, Harbour has crafted more than 23,000 surfboards. Today, vintage Harbour Surfboards are collected by enthusiasts around the world eager to score a piece of surfing history. After more than fifty years, Harbour Surfboards is the world's oldest surfboard manufacturing shop, and is still a vital, driving force within the surfing industry. Harbour Chronicles A Life in Surfboard Culture highlights the photography, surfboards and life stories of Rich Harbour. Featuring 21 written contributions by fellow surfers, Harbour Chronicles is 144 pages of surf culture at its best.
