Sam George featured in Surfer Magazine & The Inertia
In the week leading up to the release of Sam George’s memoir, Child of Storms: A Surfing Memoir in Progress, national and international surf media are taking notice.
From The Inertia:
“In the pantheon of surf storytellers, there aren’t many who compare to Sam George in both volume and quality... He brought the legend of Eddie Aikau to life in an Emmy winning 30-for-30 documentary, worked with Stacy Peralta to usher big wave surfing into mainstream consciousness in Riding Giants, and led the editorial departments of both SURFER and SURFING, penning hundreds of magazine articles through the years.
But there was one story he’d never told in full: his own. Until now. This month, Sam’s memoir, Child of Storms, will be released to the public. In it, Sam discusses how surfing has shaped his life, and how, despite all the negativity that sometimes swirls around our pursuit, he remains staunchly optimistic about the future of wave riding.”

From Surfer Magazine:
“In his coverage of the culture, George has not been an idle passenger. He is fully immersed, retaining that curiosity, commitment and enthusiasm for surfing. He has prioritized surfing, using it as a medium to travel the world, explore unsurfed waves and meet fascinating people. By his count, he has ridden 695 surf spots in 42 countries. Some wave you’ve heard of. Others, you never will. In 2000, he, Randy Rarick and John Callahan encountered a uniquely indigenous surf community on a small African island so small and remote a cartographer would have trouble pinning it on a map. Sam George has lived a surf life. “
