Christian Beamish
Christian Beamish came to the Surfing Heritage Foundation
with his boat Cormorant in tow, and read from his new book The Voyage
of the Cormorant (Patagonia Books), talking about how small boat voyaging
came about as a natural extension of his surfing life.
The story
of building Cormorant, his 18-foot Shetland Isle beach boat, learning to
sail her, and then departing from San Diego for a solo surf trip down the
Pacific coast of Baja, The Voyage of the Cormorant is also a surfing
adventure, with special attention to surfboard design. Heavily influenced by
the Simmons keel fin and Pat Curren Waimea gun in the SHF collection, Christian
will discuss his combining design elements of both boards, and the link between
deepwater sailing and big wave riding.
We have books available for purchase ($27 includes tax).

I have always fancied a surfboard as a type of conversational piece among my furniture. I guess it's high time to visit Hawaii and experience the fun of surfing, first hand.
