THE SURFACING is set largely on board a ship in the 1850s, searching for Franklin`s lost expedition. It`s a challenging & dangerous endeavour in a very male world
- that is until Morgan, the second-in-command of the Impetus, realises there is a pregnant stowaway on board & that he is the father. It is too late to turn back, the ice is closing in, & the child will have to be born into the vast & icy wilderness of the Arctic. The men, especially the ship`s doctor, De Haven, & the second in comm&, Lieutenant Morgan, have doubts about the judgement of their captain, & soon their own vessel becomes trapped in the remote Arctic. THE SURFACING is in places quite literally breathtaking. It is a powerful novel of isolation & impasse, resilience & resistance, exploring the battle between man & an unforgiving environment, & the struggle between the sexes. The power of ambition, what drives human beings to take outrageous physical risks, the nature of courage, & of love
- in an unforgettable setting, often bleak, sometimes beautiful, always conveyed in brilliant, keenly pared prose. And in addition to Kitty & Morgan & the rest of the crew, the ice itself forms an extraordinary character in its own right
- sometimes shifting, sometimes stubborn, mostly treacherous.

The Surfing Tribe, by veteran Newquay surfer Roger Mansfield, is the first book to document the rise of surfing in Britain from the 1930s to the modern day. The 208-page hardback, with over 200 classic & iconic photographs, tells the fascinating story of how surfing found its way to the chilly shores of Britain thanks, originally, to a Birmingham dentist & a Newquay ice-cream seller. Way back in the late 1930s Midlands dentist Jimmy Dix was leafing through the Encyclopaedia Britannica when he spied a photo of surfing in Hawaii & felt the urge to give it a go. He obtained a 14-foot wooden surfboard from a surf club in Waikiki, Hawaii, & took it down to Newquay in Cornwall on his annual holiday. There he met a young Newquay ice-cream seller, Pip Staffieri, who built his own wooden board & taught himself to surf. The Surfing Tribe tells how, from these small beginnings, & thanks to dozens of colourful characters, the sport took hold in Jersey, Cornwall & Wales, before spreading along the South Coast & as far as Scotland & the Northeast. Today’s surfers, who rely on high-tech wetsuits & boards, will be awed by stories about the bravery of the early surfers, like the Australian & American lifeguards who paddled out at notorious big-wave spot The Cribbar near Newquay in 1966 without leashes, & just wearing shorts & t-shirts. Foreign travel was also very different in the `60s; the early surf travellers had no guidebooks or internet surf forecasts, they often journeyed to surf breaks in France, Spain & Ireland on little more than a rumour. Written by renowned surf historian Roger Mansfield, The Surfing Tribe features all the characters who made the sport what it is today, including former World Junior Champion Rod Sumpter, as well as ‘ Tigger’ Newling, Pete Jones, Linda Sharp, Nigel Veitch, Tim Heyl&, Nigel Semmens & Carwyn Williams. The book also charts the evolution of British surfboards, & looks back at the films & magazines that have portrayed the British scene over the decades. ...
