“Steve Hawk, Editor SURFER MAGAZINE
John Bilderback is a rarity among that exclusive club of world-class surf photographers in that he’s also a very funny writer. The photos in this book are luscious and harrowing and wide-ranging, but JB’s crazy stories might be the best part.“

Published by Patagonia Books: From the launch in Hawai’i in May 2014, around the world 60,000 miles, to 23 different countries, this beautiful hardcover book chronicles Hokule’a’s epic mission to raise awareness of and nurture worldwide sustainability. Interwoven with descriptions of Hokule’a’s experiences in port are the voices of the master navigators and crew members, who guide the ship along the ocean’s trackless path using only stars, birds, wind, and seas — non-instrumental wayfinding techniques– and the local pioneers — scientists, teachers, and children touched by Hokule’a’ — who work tirelessly to weather the many environmental challenges in our modern lives. This is a story about our need to draw together into one global community. By respecting one another and nature’s delicate and intricate systems, this book captures the many ways indigenous cultures are committed to living in ecological balance.
