History will thank Rusty Long for writing “The Finest Line: The Global Pursuit of Big-Wave Surfing.” If you’re really passionate about surfing, then this coffee-table book will mark you forever. Photography is part of the thrill. Big wave surfers have always had their personal lenses in the water. Some of these watermen are lucky enough to have multiple photographers and videographers capturing their career-defining moments. If you truly believe in the power of surf photography, then this book is for you. But these men and women need to do exceptionally good on the death-defying arena in order to be part of the elite. The most dangerous big wave surf spots in the planet – Mavericks, Jaws, Cloudbreak, Teahupoo, Puerto Escondido, Dungeons, Nazaré, Belharra, Shipstern Bluff and Mullaghmore Head, for example – will eat you alive if dare to fail.
