Beautifully brought to life throughout by Owen’s unique photography, Looking Sideways Vol. 1 is the story of Californian action sports culture by the people who created it.
Myself and co-author Owen Tozer journeyed from Ventura to San Diego on a mission to understand how Californian board sports culture has shaped the world, and how this culture continues to inform the global perspective of California today.
The trip saw us meet and interview the people who have defined and shaped modern surfing, skating and snowboarding: from traditionally venerated alphas like surfer Herbie Fletcher and skater Jamie Thomas, to trailblazers such as LGBT surf icon Cori Schumacher and glass-ceiling smashing skateboarder Cara-Beth Burnside.
The result is a visually sumptuous, 260-page homage to an influential culture in flux, and a lovingly-compiled tribute to the state that continues to define the global board-riding conversation.
