Tropical Islands and their exotic allure hold a unique place in the thoughts of all of us who have been struck down by a love of the sea. Who hasn't seen a palm tree laden tourist brochure, or a blue-ocean silver-sand poster in a travel agent's window, and not felt that sudden wishful wistful leap of the heart, that desire to drop everything and just go?
Yet the thousands of islands scattered across the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic Oceans are more than mere holiday destinations. They're home not just to a way of life but a way of thinking about the world - a way of being, perfectly expressed in sheer fun and adventurism of the surfing life.
Here you'll find images from the heart of tropic island life, both on land in the water. And from around the globe, wherever warm sea and coral collide to make their magic.
