Tom has been a primary contributor to Surfer magazine since the mid-’70s. Highly organized and technically knowledgeable, Tom has developed a broad file of outstanding portraiture, studio work and photo-survey projects, but he is most known for his intense surf action. Although a bit older than the young standouts he usually focuses on, he is so young and active in spirit that he has become travel mates with the young-guns of today’s surfing. This lets him into their sphere where he records the highlights of their amazing talents. No one has covered the wave phenomena of Teahupoo in Tahiti more than Servais, and he frequents Cloudbreak on Tavarua, Fiji, so often you would think he lives there. The results are in evidence in this volume.

Warren Bolster began surf photography in early 1970s California, and is still active from his home base in Honolulu, Hawaii.
