Review
"" There is plenty of information on each spot and also plenty of good colour photos throughout. The surfers tales give a good insight into the atmosphere of local surfers and a board guide shows what the guys that know their waves are riding. All in all a very useful guide laid out really well. Wavelength "" NEW and in our opinion the best guide to surfing yet produced. A1 Surfshop On Surfing Britain "" The same great balance of hard yards searching without betraying the secret spots. Stranger Magazine "" World class photography Snowboardclub.co.uk"
Huck Magazine (Pan Euro)
Great read...one of the most enjoyable and well put together surf books to be published in the last few years.
Tracks Magazine (AUS)
"Good in the travel bag or just as useful on the coffee table. ****"
Customer Reviews
Awesome
A truly inspiring book. Each break is brought to life with the right balance of know-how, stories, history and beautiful photography. This is essential reading for anyone with more than a passing interest in the surf potential of the planet.
Perfect guide to finding the perfect wave - and place to sleep!
Perfect companion to planning any surf trip. Well written and not dumbed down or pretentious (which is something a lot of surf books suffer from)
Chooses my holiday destinations!
I love surfing... but I live in London! I now consult this book when ever I travel, to see if there are any surf spots that they can recommend. I have even booked a couple of holidays based around the destinations listed in the book. Its a great way to find new spots and also which would be suited to your ability. Its a great read and very informative.
