DESCRIPTION:
'Expect an exhilarating ride alongside surfing legends.' (Coast, September 2012) 'With tales of monster waves, deadly sharks and perfect breaks, this book alone gets every surfer stoked -- even if there isn't a wave in the sea' (Cornwall Today, December 2012) 'Entertainingly written and painstakingly researched there's something for everyone' (Carve Surfing, February 2013)
Three Stars The author's writing style did not flow. Most of the stories were nice, but only a few were truly amazing. Unless you can get this book for free, you might consider saving the money for another surf book (e.g. North Shore Chronicles or Morning Glass).. Kitelady said Not What I Thought. Some chapters were very good and other chapters had to be read again if you wanted to understand it and keep all the names straight. Not my favorite surf book.
There are accounts of death and disaster, as well as bravery and triumph. This eclectic mix of surfing stories has something for everyone, from classic tales of monster waves and epic battles to stories of when life among the breakers goes wrong. The bizarre and the extreme rub shoulders with perfect breaks and beautiful beaches. Be thrilled by legendary surfers, as well as learning about local heroes who never made the headlines. Each compelling tale has been chosen to stoke the fire of armchair surfers and hardcore wave-riders alike, and many are illustrated with colour photographs.
