During a 1980s, a new multiply of surfer -- brash, decorated and blustering a B-52s -- invaded a little widen of Newport Beach, Calif., christened it Echo Beach, and altered roller enlightenment forever. These pompadoured punks upended a anti-corporate, laidback opinion of '70s California with their polka-dotted surfboards, Day-Glo tank tops and neon Wayfarers, gaining a courtesy of roller magazines, photographers and conform brands with their outsized personalities and dumb outfits. And yet their power was brief, Echo's athletes, entrepreneurs and board-makers would go on to change travel style, pattern and veteran surfing via a '90s and 'aughts.
Mike Moir, a Canadian photographer who had lived in Southern California given a 1940s, prisoner this energetic subculture with his snapshots both in a H2O and on a boardwalk. Â His dynamic, silly photos are a theme of a new coffee-table book, The Eighties during Echo Beach, published by Chronicle with an introduction by publisher Jamie Brisick. The book is a pleasure -- and not only since of a gleefully shrill '80s fashions. Moir's photos, as good Brisick's words, beat with teenage rebellion and attitude, celebrating a trusting hedonism of girl that transcends time and place.
