368 pages
90 contributors

its BIG, it is Chunky and it definitely is not 'cool'
The book will be available here at switch-foot.com.
We are making a 3 minute short film to showcase the contents.
We are doing a roadtrip down to Torquay, from Byron Bay in the first two weeks of December. We will be in Manly Sydney December 5th and Torquay Victoria December 12th.
The book will be available through the website while we are away, we will be posting them from post offices up and down the east coast.
We will update the website this week with new contributors, a new section on the new book and how you can view/buy it.
Any order received over the website will be posted within 24 hours.
switch-foot II will not be available through mainstream outlets.
try looking in surf shops that stock handmade surfboards, shaping bays, local markets, secondhand bookshops or visit the website in december to see store locations if you do not want to buy it direct from the editor/producer.
England ~ Cornwall ~ september sessions
We have been in Cornwall for the last 5 weeks catching up with friends and family.
Took 5 rolls of film and stoked on the results.
cousin Daniel Crockett is about to print his low run, super small independent production and if you click this link it will show you a glimpse of what it is....a newspaper full of stoke....we think it is called 'the kook'
drop Daniel a line, leave him some stoke and some interest in his newspaper, we have seen bits and it is all time.
