His work captivates surfers around the world, and this first ever monograph of Bloch's workdesigned by luminary David Carsonfeatures his best pieces, alongside a soulful account of the artist's life. This gorgeous book of waves is a collaboration between two of the surf world's visionaries that will resonate with beach lovers everywhere.
