Big Wave Surfer:
The Greatest Rides of our Lives
This 304-page large-format photography book is one of Rizzoli’s thickest and most complex, and also the most comprehensive book dedicated to big wave surfing authored by Kai Lenny. As the designer and art director, I worked with the team for over two years to weave together stories from 30 of the world’s top surfers and images from 50 photographers. From initial concept through delivery, I managed and executed every element of the design process, including image and type layout, retouching, image selection, and production.
