Tony Caramanico (born 1950) has lived a full surfing life as a competitive surfer, TV producer, surf shop owner, astute traveler, businessman and artist. Catching his first wave at 13 years old in Gilgo Beach, New York, Tony Caramanico's 60 years of surfing has spanned the breadth of the sport itself. After meeting renowned artist
Peter Beard in Montauk, he began keeping daily journals. What started as him recording the weather and days waves turned into so much more. Melding collage work, stream of consciousness writing and both surf/ pop cultural references Tony Caramanico paints an intricate picture of freedom, joy and his undying passion for a surfing life.
