**The best and newest big-wave surfing stories from the sport’s insiders**

More than a decade ago, John Long published his now classic *The Big Drop,* an unprecedented look at the larger-than-life frontier of big wave surfing. Since then, the sport has exploded in popularity. The big wave bar keeps rising as extreme surfers continue to seek out, surf, and survive a ride on the elusive 100-foot wave. The incredible stories of a new generation of thrill-seeking, death-defying surfers and stunning, full-color photography of monster waves fill the pages of this new collection by John Long and former surfing pro Sam George.

A powerful, contemporary look at the men and women who live and breathe for the next big wave and the bigger, more dangerous challenge, *The Big Juice* presents a rich history of characters, controversies, heroism, humor, and tragedy that define the sport.
