The story behind Surf Riot goes like this: on the day of the 1986 OP Surf Pro Championships, Waplington arrived at the event to find that a massive riot had broken out amidst the event's estimated 100,000 spectators. As he writes in the book's afterword, "I had one roll of 24 exposures. I made 25 pictures. They are this book."
