Creating Waves is new book by New Zealand author Aaron Topp.
In Creating Waves: How Surfing Inspires our most Creative New Zealanders (HarperCollins, 2009), Topp explores the relationship of surfing and the sea plays in the creative lives of a selection of leading musicians, painters, sculptors, poets and fellow writers. A reviewer for Boat Books said ‘Full of fascinating insights into New Zealand’s surfing world, Creating Waves will make you want to pick up the surfboard and head for the beach.’ The book includes Raglan carvers Jess Santorik and Aaron Kereopa and artist Ken Thomas and a host of others including SurfAd founder Dr Dave Jenkins.
Aaron Topp is in his early thirties and lives in Hawke’s Bay with his wife and toddler son. He has taught at Ohope Beach Primary and since 1999 has worked in the rural family business. He has been an avid surfer since he was 14.
