    For centuries man has braved the  surf of the foreshores in boats. Sometimes it has been for sport, sometimes to earn a living, sometimes to plunder. Some boats were built to survive in the surf, others were fragile or cumbersome in the surge and sway.

     Boat people have survived on rocky shores and shifting sands earning a living with primitive craft since time began. In Surfboats:Boats That Brave the Breaking Wave Daniel Hardie tells the story of the boats and the people of the surf, of the Viking boats, of the whalers and the  sporting surfboats of the Australian surf.
