Heritage Surf Products

Heritage endeavours to stock a great range of labels that represents the overall culture within surfing.

Given the growth of major surf companies over the years, in a great many instances, it has been at the expense of many iconic labels and brands.

It's not that these brands aren't available, it's just that in the competitive nature of the larger companies as we now know them, the small unique labels have been overshadowed - for the larger companies, if they don't make it, they don't stock it.

At Heritage, our goal is to seek and stock as many of these classic labels and brands as is possible and to the best of our ability, maintain their deserved place within our culture.

There are also a great many new and exciting brands with a similar ethos toward the culture and spirit of surfing that we will also stock and support at Heritage.

Books

One of the most frustrating aspects of surfing books is that you're never able to visit one location that looks after all publications to do with surfing.

Look no further! At Heritage, we have endeavoured to become the one-stop-shop for all books available in respect to surfing.

We certainly have acquired all books that are available within Australia, and have looked further afield to acquire collectible titles unavailable in this country.

We are very proud to be able to make available, for the first time in Australia, the complete range of Surfers Journal publications which include the 'Masters of Photography' selections from Photographers such as Jeff Divine, Art Brewer, Ted Gambrea, Warren Bolster and Ted Servias as well as the iconic publications from John Seveson and Leroy Grannis.

We also have a range of recent issues of The Surfers Journal, and will be receiving limited numbers of each new issue as they are published in the future.

As our website evolves, we will list all titles available.

Heritage is your #1 One-Stop Surf Book Shop!

Masters of Surf Photography : Tom Servais
The Surfers Journal Masters of Surf Photography : Tom Servais

Tom has been a primary contributor to Surfer magazine since the mid-’70s. Highly organized and technically knowledgeable, Tom has developed a broad file of outstanding portraiture, studio work and photo-survey projects, but he is most known for his intense surf action. Although a bit older than the young standouts he usually focuses on, he is so young and active in spirit that he has become travel mates with the young-guns of today’s surfing. This lets him into their sphere where he records the highlights of their amazing talents. No one has covered the wave phenomena of Teahupoo in Tahiti more than Servais, and he frequents Cloudbreak on Tavarua, Fiji, so often you would think he lives there. The results are in evidence in this volume.

Men Who Ride Mountains : Incredible True Tales of Legendary Surfers
Men Who Ride Mountains : Incredible True Tales of Legendary Surfers by Peter Dixon

Riding a clean, fast-moving wave creates such profound physical and emotional satisfaction that hardly anything else surpasses this exuberant, challenging experience, " writes Peter Dixon in the new introduction to his 1969 classic, "Men Who Ride Mountains." In this celebration of modern surfing, Dixon traces its origins to the turn of the last century and pays tribute to its pioneers -- from Hawaiian legend Duke Paoa Kahanamoku, who began surfing at age four and in 1917 took on the swells of a taunami and rode the wild wave for more than a mile, to American oceanographer Ricky Grigg, "the ideal combination of intellect, science and action."

My Brother's Keeper
My Brother's Keeper : A True Story of a Vicious Killing and a Powerful Surf Brotherhood by Angela Kamper & Charles Miranda

A blood smear trailing along a footpath of a suburban Sydney street went largely ignored by local residents accustomed to hoaxes and bloody turf brawls in their beachside suburb. Initially police suspected it was nothing more than animal blood. But at the end of the trail, at the base of a Maroubra cliff, lay the naked body of notorious underworld figure Tony Hines, shot four times at close range. Hines was a man with a history of violence, a rape conviction and a long list of enemies. In the months following the discovery of his body, police unearthed more than just a killing. They found a story of revenge that would shock the city and the international surfing world. Koby Abberton, one of the most recognisable surfers in the world and face of the sunglasses giant Oakley, was charged with being an accessory after the fact to murder, perverting the course of justice and hindering police. His brother Jai, a popular local surfing identity, was charged with murder after his girlfriend told police an extraordinary tale of the night of the killing. For local surf gang the Bra Boys' bad publicity is nothing new, but the arrest of two of its founders signalled something a lot deeper.

Occy
Occy - The Rise and Fall and Rise of Mark Occhilupo

Child star at sixteen, ranked third in the world at seventeen, winner of the Pipeline Masters at nineteen - Mark Occhilupo looked set to sweep all before him with a radical, spontaneous, irresistible brand of surfing. Yet a spiralling descent into drug abuse and depression snuffed his flame out prematurely when he quit the pro tour at just twenty-two. Faltered comebacks, spectacular bursts of free-surfing and manic breakdowns followed, as the surfing world watched a freakish talent self-combust.

After years spent immobile and overweight on the couch, in his so-called 'Elvis period', Occy eventually emerged from his cocoon, reborn and ready to tackle a whole new generation of surf stars. His celebrated comeback to win the world title in 1999, sixteen years after his career began, is a sporting fairytale without equal. Now for the first time, in his own words, Occy tells the complete, remarkable story of his spectacular rise, terrifying fall and miraculous rebirth.

Photo : Grannis - Surfing's Golden Age 1960-1969
The Surfers Journal Photo : Grannis - Surfing's Golden Age 1960-1969

This is the first book of its type ever published: a large format coffee-table monograph, focused on one of the most remarkable decades in the evolution of surfing, featuring the photography of one of its primary chroniclers; and Granny, being one of our most beloved surf photographer grand daddies, is richly deserving of the attention. As edited by Brad Barrett, who infused issues of late-'60s Surfer with his deft and precise take on surf soul, Photo: Grannis mixes the qualities of a scholarly tome with a taste of irreverent scat, in the process becoming a revealing look back for those who didn't make the scene, and a sentimental journey for those of us who did.

Photo/Stoner : The Rise, Fall and Mysterious Disappearance of Surfing's Greatest Photographer
Photo/Stoner : The Rise, Fall and Mysterious Disappearance of Surfing's Greatest Photographer by Matt Warshaw

In 1965, Ron Stoner was the best surf photographer in the business. Every month, he shot the balmy beaches, bikini-clad girls, and achingly beautiful waves of Southern California for "Surfer Magazine," Then, at the height of his fame, Ron Stoner walked off this sunny stage and disappeared forever. In "Photo/Stoner," Stoner's strange story is recounted by surfing historian Matt Warshaw alongside Stoner's best photos, reproduced as never before. In these rare images, Stoner recorded more than just a beautiful wave or a perfect moment, he captured the effortless and innocent grace of coastal California pre-condominium. In word and in image, "Photo/Stoner" is a poignant ode to a lost era, and a lost man.
