A great read written with the same passion Sergio has put into designing and shaping boards over decades of innovation and creativity.
Our kids have grown up with Gomez boards and we still love catching waves on these beautifully crafted pieces of art.
Thank you Sergio and Tiff for the way you have welcomed our family into your beautiful world of surfing.

Very nice book, reader friendly, by this I mean non technical explanations on how surf boards work in their various styles. The author should congratulate himself as to explain these nuances is no easy task! Above all I found the text to be vey inspirational for me to get back in the shaping bay and make myself a board again with lots of colours!
What a great book for the journey surfer where the real facts about board design and performance attributes provide a guideline for personal board selection. Written in a passionate and personal manner to take the reader on a unique journey of a lifetime.
A stunning publication. This book is an amazing collective of stories and imagery that beautifully articulates the craft of surfboard building. The quality of the imagery, down to the quality of the paper used in the book, makes it hard to put down.
