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.

Ron Church : California and Hawaii 60 to 65
The Surfers Journal : Ron Church : California and Hawaii 60 to 65

Out of Stock

Co-published by T. Adler Books and the wave-rider's Bible, Surfer's Journal, this deluxe collection of mostly previously-unpublished vintage surfing photographs by the cult surf documentarian, Ron Church, offers a glimpse into the last moments of a small and innocent brand of west coast surf culture before it became swallowed up by today's wave jockeying, plastic... More surfboards and manufactured surf wear, to say nothing of the surf media. Church, who died at age 39 in 1973, was an amateur surfer himself, as well as an adventurer and a cameraman with the deep-sea explorer, Jacques Cousteau. In photographing his peers, Church preferred to paddle out with his waterproof equipment, shooting low to the water and far from shore, as if he were stalking a population of fantastic, water-walking sea creatures rather than marveling over specimens of a funky new kind of athleticism. He was among the earliest photographers to take a professional interest in the sport from any angle. In order to assemble this volume, publisher Tom Adler scoured Church's long-defunct proof sheet binders, maintained for decades by his widow. Provoked by their sheer volume, Adler selected the more offbeat moments from Church's multi-image studies, piecing together an evocative, often moody collection.

Surf's Up : The Girl's Guide to Surfing
Surf's Up : The Girl's Guide to Surfing by Louise Southerden with foreward by Layne Beachley

Out of Stock

A surfer and writer from Sydney, Australia, Southerden speaks from the point of view of a woman who taught herself to surf without how-to guides and magazines to aid her. She learned the sport comparatively late in life, at age 24, and at a time when there were more sharks in the water than women. She wore wetsuits designed for men, surfed at non-crowded breaks at undesirable times and had no female pros to model her riding after. The author wants the next generation of wave riders to learn from her novice mistakes; she also hopes to give girls the early confidence that she lacked. "You can't learn to surf from a book!" she acknowledges early on, and no one should expect to. But readers can learn drills to practice on days the ocean is flat, techniques to test the next time they paddle out to the lineup and the kind of information (the correct way to attach your leash, how to tell if you're regular- or goofy footed, how to select the right swimsuit) that is otherwise gained only by years of experience. She tackles girl-specific issues most learn-to-surf manuals neglect. ("My boobs get squished when I paddle my board"; "Do girls need different surfboards?") and peppers the guide with tips on surf etiquette and advice from female pros. The research text at the end of the book provides a comprehensive list of women's surf organizations, camps and contests, as well as a dictionary of surf terms to help newbie surfers learn the lingo, maneuvers and equipment they'll need to look and sound like a pro. If you've always wanted to learn how to surf, but don't have an experienced friend to learn the ropes from, consider this progress-at-your-own-pace book your safety vest.
