🔥Once-A-Year Black Friday Sale on TWG for the foundational surfers' library collection. Extreme limited edition remain at GaviotaStore.com

Written by my uncle Paul Kemnitzer—who lived on the HR for 40 years—this 2-volume limited run of 200 books was reviewed in The Surfer's Journal. — Bear Sawyer 🎁🎄

Paul's work provides some of the most indelible quotes about the Hollister Ranch—he is the Ranch Philosopher:

"It is not how much we do on our land that makes it valuable, but how little we do that makes it priceless. To really revere what God created here, to hold every animal and insect, every rock, every plant, every bit of soil, and every view as sacred is to give voice to a future that honors the integrity of this beautiful, magic, powerful place."

From The Surfer's Journal: “The original book can be found on the shelves of foundational surfers in both the West Oz wilderness and the California ranchlands….The self-published effort—a wholistic hardbound illustrated with hand-tinted shots by the author—described a lifetime of lessons learned at both Point Conception and in Western Australia ”

Less than 90 copies remain, available at www.GaviotaStore.com

The California Coast is my home. For over 15 years I've been working intently to paint the entire coastline of this beautiful state.
