Part journal, part biography, part surf culture memoir, Golden Daze: Australian Surfing: Then to Now tells the story of Australian surfing - one year at a time - through the lives of our greatest surfers.

Surfing Australia's Hall of Fame recognises the nation's most influential and iconic surfers. Every year, the current members of this Hall of Fame vote to induct a new surfer. You will find all of these surfers here, from Peter Troy to Tyler Wright.

The book takes a deep dive into a significant year of each of their surfing lives. Years when they won, years when they lost, years where their surfing or their surfboards changed the game. Grommet years when the days never ended. Years when they surfed up the coast, down the coast and globetrotted into the great unknown. Years when both surfing and society changed. Years when they made high art, experienced spiritual awakenings, or were just tubed out of their minds. And even years where they survived the embrace of a great white shark.

World renowned surf writer Sean Doherty gives a fascinating insight into what makes Australian surfers tick.
