Description: "Fierce Heart - The Story of Makaha and the Soul of Hawaiian Surfing" by Stuart Holmes Coleman- SOFTCOVER - Published in 2010 by St. Martin's Griffin - 320 pages (with 8 pages of great color photos) - (AUTOGRAPHED AND DATED BY STUART HOLMES on the first page) - NEAR MINT condition. Fierce Heart is the biography of a community and a portrait of its people. Although Makaha is a small, isolated town on the Western coast of Oahu, it has produced some of the most intriguing Hawaiians of the twentieth century: world-class surfers Buffalo Keaulana and his sons Rusty and Brian; beautiful skin diver and surfing pro Rell Sunn; and larger than life singer and songwriter Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. What connects them is a love for their culture, their people, and various kinds of water sports. Fierce Heart combines stories of exciting big wave surfing competitions, dramatic water rescues, deep friendships, and touching family portraits with a look at the history and origins of one of the world's most thrilling extreme sports. Again, this book is in NEAR MINT condition and it is AUTOGRAPHED BY THE AUTHOR. No collection of surfing books is complete without this one. Check out the scans for the great cover and for the autograph and so you can judge the condition for yourself (unlike many other booksellers, who post generic scans, the book in my scan is the one you will get). You can try to buy this book for less money from one of those eBay booksellers with hundreds, if not thousands of negatives (you know the ones I refer to) and be lucky if the book is delivered to you in the stated condition (if you even get it at all), or you can buy it from me and be assured of a prompt delivery and of receiving a quality item true to the condition indicated. You won't be disappointed. All previous buyers of my sports books have been completely satisfied. I have many others available; please inquire. The book will be sent via Media mail shipping in the USA. I will combine shipping to reduce charges for multiple items. If you purchase more than one item, please wait until I send you an invoice with the appropriate combined shipping discount. Credit cards are accepted through PayPal.com. Please see my auctions and my eBay store for hundreds of books and a wide variety of sports and non-sports collectibles. All items are packed with care to insure safe delivery. Please contact me if you have any questions. 11-5-19 -- 16.4
