Surf Gonzo
Beautiful violence and echoing souls in Ralph Steadman’s Hawaii.
In the early ’80s, iconic writer-illustrator duo Hunter S. Thompson and Ralph Steadman applied their vicious style to a book set in Hawaii. Critics hated it, readers didn’t buy it, and it swiftly fell out of print. Today, rare copies sell for more than $10,000. This is the story of a near-lost treasure of surf art.
