The Surfing Heritage Foundation, 110 Calle Iglesia in San Clemente, is hosting a book signing and slideshow with author and San Clemente resident Christian Beamish for his new book, The Voyage of the Cormorant, July 27, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Beamish will discuss how small boat voyaging—aboard his 18-foot sailboat Cormorant—came about as a natural extension of his surfing life.
His story of learning to sail and his solo trip down the Pacific Coast of Baja is also a surfing adventure with special attention to surfboard design. Heavily influenced by the Simmons keel fin and Pat Curren Waimea gun in the SHF collection, Christian will discuss his combining design elements of both boards, and the link between deepwater sailing and big wave riding.
The event is free and open to the public. There will be a no host bar and light appetizers by Daphne’s California Greek will be served.
