Summary: Everything you wanted to know about surfing except "how-to"
Comment: Matt Warshaw is a writer for "Surfing Magazine", which incidentally published the book. As a result, this book takes full advantage of the magazine's long lineage, filters out the fluff, and leaves even a novice surfer like me feeling like I've been surfing all of my life. Matt's writing style is simple yet elegant, and he covers just about every aspect of surfing you can imagine, from surfboard manufacturing, to Duke Kohanomaku, to surf competition, to surf culture, to Mark Foo's tragic death in the mid-1990's. The only thing he doesn't cover is "how-to", but there are enough books about that already (one good one is Doug Wermer's "Start-Up Surfing"). I highly recommend this book to all ocean-lovers, surfers and non-surfers alike. Gorgeous photo's, excellent text. Almost as good as being there.

Summary: Greatly Thoughtout - Refreshing and Well-Documented
Comment: Thoroughly loved reading Matt Warshaw's chronical of the surfing life. The chapters on "In Search Of The Perfect Wave" and "Surfari" certainly blew the Endless Summer story wide open. The whole book was well put together, and obviously researched very extensively. The photo's were great too. Recommend it to any surfer or surf lover.

Summary: Will make any surfer or non-surfer want to get in the water
Comment: I loved this book. i got it as a gift and was told to read it on the way up to our family summer house (that is on the beach where i love to surf). It has the greatest pictures and not that bad captions to go along with it. If you are a surfer it will remind you of the great times that the ocean brings and if you are not a surfer i believe it will interest you into maybe trying surfing one day. whatever or whoever you are i believe it is a winner.
