More than a decade ago, John Long published his now classic The Big Drop, an unprecedented look at the larger-than-life frontier of big wave surfing. Since then the sport has exploded in popularity. The big wave bar keeps rising as extreme surfers continue to seek out, surf, and survive enormous waves. The incredible stories of a new generation of thrill-seeking, death-defying surfers and stunning photography of monster waves fill the pages of this collection. The Big Juice is a powerful, contemporary look at the men and women who live and breathe for the next big wave and the bigger, more dangerous challenge. Their stories provide a rich history of characters, controversies, heroism, humor, and tragedy that define the sport. Contributors include: Ben Marcus, Chris Dixon, Kimball Taylor, Rusty Long, Drew Kampion, Tony Harrington, Matt Warshaw, James Hollmer-Cross, Evan Slater, Shane Dorian, Ted Gugelyk, Brad Melekian, Brock Little, Greg Noll and more

Industry Reviews

"Big Juice is a must read for anyone who wants to experience the extreme passion and ultimate terror of riding the world's biggest waves." --Ricky Grigg, former world surfing champion and big wave pioneer "Punctuated by absolutely stunning photography of these monstrous waves-and the intrepid souls who embrace the challenge of taming them-this is a glimpse into a totally alien world, and the incredible force nature brings to bear. It's a celebration, a warning, a tribute, a memorial, and a historical document all at once." --Sacramento Book Review "A solid collection of big wave anecdotes, [including] an unvarnished, adrenaline-packed narrative from hellman Shane Dorian, recounting one of the most traumatic beatings he ever took while surfing.... Solid, blending surfing entertainment with the simple power of stories about massive swells.... For surfers who enjoy books in the 'talking story' genre, you won't be disappointed by The Big Juice." --TheWatermansLibrary.com
