Bunker Spreckels: Surfing's Divine Prince of Decadence - Reviews

Page [1] [2] [3]
"What happens when a famous 21-year old L.A. surfer with a taste for partying inherits a multimillion-dollar fortune? We need to look no further than Bunker Spreckles, short-lived libertine and stepson of Clark Gable."
Anthem Magazine, Los Angeles
United States
"Héritier d’une des familles les plus riches de Californie, Bunker Spreckels (1949-1977) a vécu une vie d’aristocrate bohème, surfant les meilleures vagues du monde avec son style unique. Il fut l’un des premiers à oser s’aventurer sur Backdoor. Tel un caméléon, Bunker errat entre surf spots et soirées jet-set (son beau-père était Clark Gable). Craig Stecyk et Art Brewer racontent son histoire brève, mais bien remplie avec le livre Bunker Spreckels, Surfing’s Divine Prince of Decadence."
Beach Brother, Biarritz
France
"Bunker Spreckels, Surfing’s Divine Prince Decadence s’annonce comme le livre phare de la rentrée à mi-chemin entre le «coffee table book» et l’ouvrage de référence sur la contre-culture surf. Petit nec plus ultra? Lisez-le dans sa version originale: la prose de Stecyk est tout simplement magique."
Surf Session, Anglet
France
"(…) Bunker Spreckels, le divin prince du surf et de la décadence, biographie très illustrée (TASCHEN) du surfer milliardaire, beau-fils de Clark Gable, décédé en 1977 à 27 ans. Argent, drogue, sexe: de quoi passer un bel été."
