The Herald’s Vicky Allan chats with author Roger Cox and photographer Mike Guest about The View from the Shoulder — a book that draws together twenty years of surf journalism from the pages of The Scotsman, together with fresh context, to create a portrait of a wave-riding community like no other.
The story of surfing in Scotland is defined by people who dared to dream, despite the cold. From Neva MacDonald-Haig and the coffin-lid surfers of Machrihanish, to Andy Bennetts and the pioneers of the 1960s, to contemporary big wave surfer Ben Larg, a native of the tiny island of Tiree who now travels the world riding skyscraper-sized walls of water for a living.
Scotland is also home to a rich and distinctive surfing culture, with its own surfboard shapers, surf instructors, surf filmmakers, surf photographers and surf fashion brands, not to mention surf-inspired artists and musicians. This book celebrates them all.
