This is a book sent to us by Mikael Pilstrand, documenting the lives of surfers living on the Swedish coast. Meet the people whose lives are shaped by waves breaking in the black water of their shores.


In Svart Vatten you’ll meet eight Swedish surfers. Here they tell how their lives are shaped by waves and water. You’ll see Mikael Pilstrand’s photography – dramatic, ominous and salty, along with Tony Kammari’s words which tell a story about Swedish surfing. All the photography is taken in Swedish waters. And of course you can follow them and get all the news on Facebook.

If you like cold water surfing then this book is a must buy, which of course you can do online here.
