Switch-Foot 2
Switch-Foot II is the sequel to the award winning first switch-foot book, which was self published to critical acclaim in 2005.
Switch-foot author Andrew Crockett was inducted into the Australian Surfing Hall of fame in 2005, when he won the ‘media award.’
switch-foot II is again self published and will be independently distributed to surf shops that fit the ‘switch-foot ethos’, independen
bookshops and available online through switch-foot.com
switch-foot has a unique place in the surfing world, the ethos is about everything to do with the ‘non -competitive’ side of surfing.
switch-foot has a strong core in historical photographs from the 1960’s and 1970’s with most of Australia’s leading surfing photographers
from that era supporting the switch-foot books.
switch-foot II has over 90 contributors from around the world, many of them are ‘legends’ of surfing, there are over 1000 unique images
and 368 pages.
Professional surfer and environmental activist describes switch-foot II as ''turning through the book is like sitting under a wise old tree
that gives shade and shelter for the soul, and ripe fruit for thought.'' David Rastovich. Author Andrew Crockett says ‘I cannot believe
the enthusiasm from the public for this new book, it is a real stoke to know that the public even know it exists. I thought it was underground. The first book had 50 contributors and was 210 pages long, switch-foot II is 368 pages and there are 90 contributors. It is massive and I am very appreciative of all the
contributors, especially the older folk, who have allowed me to interview them and run their classic photographs.’
switch-foot II will be available from November 17th at www.switch-foot.com
