SURFING WORLD, magazine
A beautiful and imaginative book. An illustrative run down of all things alternative surf culture. It’s one of those books where you’ll find something new every time you open it up, and get lost for hours as you explore all its intricate details. I’ll bedamned if there’s a better book in the world to have sitting in your house permeating good energy into the lives of everyone who comes across it.”
DAMAGED GOODS, magazine.
Aloha to Zen is the perfect mix of the fun and the serious, the shallow and the deep, and is full of obscure surf history staring surfing greats Gerry Lopez, Nat Young and Duke Kahanamoku himself. You get the sense this is ‘handmade treasure’ that embodies and reminds the way of the conscientious spirit.”
