Customer Reviews

Surfed Out
Buy this book if you have any sense of adventure and enjoy surfing! I couldn't decide if it was worth buying after the original Stormrider guide, but this new adition contains loads of different spots! I never even thought that some of these places had such sick waves. I've started to plan next years trips already, great help, loads of info, buy it!!

Very good text but very average photography
The text is great and general info is spot on but to be honest i was disappointed with the book in general because of the pictures. There wasnt much variation in the size and positioning of the pictures(maybe im just used to the superb photography is CARVE magazine) which gave the book a monotonous tone and didnt give you much wow factor.
The text is still a great guide and has given me some great plans just isnt presented as well as it could me, but definately still worth your hard earned cash! :)

well I know where i'm going surfing!
this book has shown me alternative surfing spots to Hawii! I now know what plane I need to save up for and catch!
