Event Details

Over the past two hundred years, and especially the past five decades, the surfing lifestyle has become the envy of people around the world. The perception of sun, sand, surf, strong young women, and their inimitable style, has created a booming lifestyle and sports industry – a massive shift from when colonizers tried to extinguish all traces of Native Hawaiian surfing and its sacred culture.

From Hawaii to Malibu, New York to Australia, South Africa to the South Pacific and beyond, Jim Kempton, award-winning former editor in chief of SURFER magazine and current President of the California Surf Museum, presents a fascinating new narrative in his book Women on Waves, that will captivate anyone who loves sports and the outdoors. After the presentation, a panel of women surfers will be available to answer questions about their experience and the world of surfing.

Free, signed, copies of Women on Waves will be available to the first 10 attendees (one book per person/family please). These books have been generously sponsored by the Friends of the Carmel Valley Library
