In Surf Shack: Laid-Back Living by the Water, interior designer Nina Freudenberger gives readers a glimpse inside the bungalows, trailers, cabins, and beach homes where surfers retreat after a day on the waves. Here are houses of both longtime enthusiasts and dedicated newcomers that reflect not just a sport or passion, but also a way of life.

Peek inside the homes of longtime enthusiasts and dedicated newcomers that reflect not just a sport or passion, but also a way of life. Blake and Heather Mycoskie of TOMS, hotelier Sean MacPherson, Gypset author Julia Chaplin, and others have set up their spaces to embrace a casual ease and be the break between the waves. 

With vibrant photographs of design details and bright beaches—from Malibu to the Rockaways, from Japan to Australia—this book captures the soulful milieu of a lifestyle we all aspire to.
