This time last week pre sales went live for Unbound Vol 1. It's a big milestone in any book's life, and man did you guys like the pre-sale offer. It's the book + 4 A4 prints from the book included.
The reason my posts are all about it is because I'm the very proud publisher of Rambo’s first solo book An Aotearoa Road Trip: Unbound Vol 1. And it’s a whopper, weighing in at nearly 2 kgs with 304 pages of text, the hardcover book is 295mm x 210mm.
I also got to help with this spread, it was a full hospital pass. On a hot, humid February day, Rambo and Daniel Davie decided to haul over 150 boards out onto the lawn of the old Davie family home in Whanga. I volunteered my good mate Luke Darby and myself for a few hours help 'it'll be fun' I said to poor Luke... 7 hours later the four of us lamented about the task we'd just done. See, you can't just pull out all the toys, you've got to put them back too. And you can't just leave two mates high and dry with the job only half done right?! Four dirty, sweaty, hungry units scoured the mean streets of Whanga at 9pm for a feed.
Was the image worth the effort? F%ck yes. When was the last time you saw a portrait like this, let alone that every board is connected to the late great Bob Davie and it's not even every board in Daniel's growing collection. Is it a collection or still a quiver? Dan has ridden every board, he can describe how every one of them glides and swoops.
Yesterday Rambo posted about Dan's feature in the book. The post went nuts. You can view it on Instagram HERE
This book is the best NZ Surfing coffee table book to date, better than the South Seas [and I’m allowed to say that- I wrote and published the South Seas book] a third bigger than any other NZ surf book project… that’s what the Surf Shop owners are saying.
As stated up the top Presales are now open and we have incentivised the crap out of it. If you take up the Presale offer you get 4 A4 prints worth $120.00.
