I have never surfed in my life, but once I picked up this wonderful collection of vintage ads, decals, postcards,and magazine covers, I felt as if I have been surfing for years, and all those delightful pictures were part of what my past held. Now I can't wait to hop on a surf board and create a whole new surfing past!PetersonUnited States |
