S’up Catching the Perfect Wave. Let’s talk about America’s most important surf photographer of the sixties and seventies. Those decades that brought the sport into the mainstream. Developed by Hawaiian Islanders over five centuries ago, surfing began to peak on the mainland in the 1950s — becoming a way of life - admired and exported across the globe. One of the key image-makers from that period is LeRoy Grannis, a surfer since 1931, who began photographing the longboard era of the early 1960s in both California and Hawaii. This re-issued edition by Taschen brings back Grannis’s hair-raising, sold-out Collector’s Edition, curated from the photographer’s personal archives to showcase his most vibrant work in a compact and affordable format. From the bliss of catching the perfect wave at San Onofre to dramatic wipeouts at Oahu’s famed North Shore. An innovator in the field, Grannis suction-cupped a waterproof box to his board, enabling him to change film in the water and stay closer to the action than any other photographer of the time. He also covered the emerging surf lifestyle, from “surfer stomps” and hordes of fans at surf contests to board-laden woody station wagons along the Pacific Coast Highway. It is in these iconic images that a sport still in its adolescence embodied the free-spirited nature of an era. A time before shortboards and celebrity endorsements, when surfing was at its nostalgic bronzed best. ‘LeRoy Grannis. Surf Photography’ by Taschen is out now. #neonurchin #neonurchinblog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #suzyurchin #ollyurchin #art #music #photography #fashion #film #words #pictures #neon #urchin #leroygrannis #granny #johnheathdocball #hoppyswarts #california #hawaii #taschen #surfsup #pacificcoasthighway #sanonofre #northshore #surfinghalloffame #surver #reef #surfingillustrated

S’up Several fellow surf club members were employed with 'Pacific Bell' and Grannis joined them in 1946. In 1946 several of Grannis’ pictures were featured in photo pioneer and close friend John Heath "Doc" Ball's book 'California Surfriders'. Grannis surfed the occasional contest during the '50s, gradually settling into the role of assisting Hoppy Swarts at the controls during the early years of the 'United States Surfing Association'. By 1959 the telephone company job at ‘Pacific Bell’ had given him an ulcer by 1959 and his doctor advised him to take up a hobby. Ball suggested more serious photography. His work soon appeared in prominent surf culture magazines of the time including 'Surfer', 'Reef' and 'Surfing Illustrated'. Grannis quickly became one of the sport's most important documentarians. Other photographers were shooting from the water, but they were forced to return to land to reload. Grannis developed a rubber-lined box that enabled him to change film in the lineup. He spent the decade in California and Hawaii, capturing the best surfers in the world riding the best surf. He was photo editor of 'Surfing Illustrated' and of 'International Surfing' which he co-founded. In 2007 Grannis was named ‘Grand Master' of the 2007 Hermosa Beach Art Walk "Salute to 100 Summers.” Grannis is considered one of the most important documentarians of the sport, and was inducted into the ‘Surfing Hall of Fame’ in 1966. He died on February 3, 2011. ‘LeRoy Grannis.
