Críticas
"Written by Rusty Long, professional surfer, journalist, photographer, and one of the biggest names in big wave surfing himself, "The Finest Line" takes us around the world, from one legendary wave to the next, with breathtaking images and awe-inspiring stories of hallmark sessions from such breaks as Maverick's, Jaws, Cloudbreak, Teahupo'o, Belharra, Nazare, Shipsterns Bluff, Dungeons, and Puerto Escondido."
--"Style of Sport"
"The photography is predictably stunning, but standard big-wave angles are juxtaposed with moodier behind-the-scenes looks that add humility to all the superhuman feats. And the Q&As sprinkled throughout the book inject honest moments of fear and reflection into all the bravado."
--"Eastern Surf Magazine," "May issue"
At 11.5 x 9.5 and 231 glossy pages, "The Finest Line" s insightful break introductions, swell stories and interviews are sparing, rightly giving prominence to iconic images from 19 big-wave venues, from Maverick s to Mullaghmore to Tasmania.

"The important connection to make here is that our little sport of surfing is plugged into the very same pulse that inspired one of literature s greatest canons: the sea narrative. In "The Finest Line," Long certainly no hack shows just how plugged in we are. Especially those special psychos among us who pack big waves."

"The photos alone in Rusty Long's book "The Finest Line: The Global Pursuit of Big Wave Surfing" are enough to give you sweaty palms.

From one seven-story tall battle in the middle of the ocean to horrifying wipeouts and underwater hold-downs, "The Finest Line" chronicles the highs and lows of big wave surfing from an insider's perspective."

Reseña del editor
The Finest Line explores the world of big-wave surfing and it’s dynamic evolution. Through images of hallmark days from the best big-wave locations around the world, firsthand accounts from those who dedicate their lives to chasing and riding giant waves, and expert commentary about the treacherous characteristics of each location, The Finest Line offers an unprecedented glimpse into the psychology of big-wave surfing, as well as its extreme risks and unparalleled rewards.
Big-wave surfing has long been a part of the sport, but this subculture of the surf world is now moving out of the fringes. The current generation of surfers is continually reinventing the limits, making this the most advanced, dynamic, and exciting period in big-wave surfing history.
This stunning coffee table book captures the essence of the sport through breathtaking images and stories, as well as exclusive interviews with the surfers who play the starring roles during these rare, large-swell events. Here you discover the complex logistics behind staging missions to the Cortes Bank, a phantom reef 100 miles out to sea; the mental and physical regimens of surfers such as Shane Dorian, Greg Long, and Grant “Twiggy” Baker; the psychology of living in pursuit of the world’s meanest waves; the stories behind the paddle-in renaissance that has come to define the next level of big-wave surfing; and firsthand accounts of those now-rare “tow-only” days that captivate audiences worldwide.
More than a collection of big-wave photographs, The Finest Line covers the giant, hallmark sessions from the most impressive spots around the globe, capturing the international flavor of the sport and exploring the insatiable drive of a rare breed of thrill seekers.
