Once upon a time sea lions slept at Sands and almost no one surfed Devereax. Once upon a time, Isla Vista was an outpost with chickens, cows and pirates.

Three years ago surf team alumni and fellow Gaucho Daniela and Lukas started making a book about Isla Vista’s long-standing surfers. Finally, the book is finished!

The 100-page coffee table book is filled with interviews, images, and stories of our beloved town and those who have a unique perspective on the changing culture and environment. There are profiles on Hank Pitcher, the designer of the S*x Wax logo, and Randall Stoker, the original shaper of the Stoker V-Machine, to name a few!

Currently, the authors are running a Kickstarter to secure the funds to publish the book. You can presale order the book for $35 or purchase a sick T-shirt or print to help them reach their goal! All proceeds go towards covering the cost of printing and publishing.

Please consider supporting this epic project to time stamp our special town’s deep-rooted surf culture.

ATTENTION: We humbly ask you for help in fundraising for our team this year! With some serious funding cuts we now are in a position where we may have to cut our C team (1/3 of our entire team). This team is full of talented, amazing and stoked Gauchos and we want to allow as many of them as possible to get a chance at competing. Any amount helps, we will all be incredibly thankful and will put it directly towards funding our competition fees. PLEASE consider contributing to this worthy cause
