Cold Water Souls

The era of the Endless Summer is over, and a whole new occluded front of surf exploration has opened up: a world inhabited by the cold water souls.

This book seeks out the waveriding pioneers of our cold water environment and looks at the communities that have evolved in some of the planet's most beautiful and inhospitable locations from the wilds of Alaska to the frozen wastes of Nova Scotia, and from Scotland's storm-lashed north coast to black volcanic boulder points of Iceland.

Acclaimed surf writer Chris Nelson has teamed up with some of the world's top surf photographers to go in search of these pioneering souls who have scoured the earth to find surfing's final frontier.
Footprint's Cold Water Souls is the result of that search: a stunning and unique insight into the world's most extreme surfing environments.
