What we do

We’ve written ten critically acclaimed non-fiction books exploring surf, culture, travel, people, adventure and football, published by the likes of National Geographic, Footprint Handbooks and Penguin.

how we do it

We’ve travelled from frigid outposts to jungle fringes, tracked down pioneers and underground heroes, spent a year on the road and a lifetime in the sea, all in the name of research. From ideation through to writing, editing and delivery, we have turned our passion for community, culture and authentic storytelling into best-selling books that have spawned successful spin offs and series. We’ve also contributed essays and chapters to books, guides and anthologies for publishers from the likes of Lonely Planet to Fernhurst.
