You won’t find Echo Beach on any map. But for a band of surfers from Newport Beach, the stretch between 52nd and 56th street was an entire universe of ‘80s cool. Jamie Brisick’s book, “The Eighties at Echo Beach,” is a visual collection of the times with photography from Mike Moir.
Jamie talks with Chris Gentile, while at the Partners and Spade studio, about the book and the popular era of West Coast surfing.
