It contains fully revised and detailed information covering The Surf, Ocean Environment and Surf Culture on a country by country basis. The Surf outlines where to go and when to go and demystifies the Atlantic Islands from Iceland to the Canaries. Ocean Environment deals with pollution, erosion, access and hazards.

Each surf break report outlines how and where the waves break, quality, consistency and the general vibe. The unique Stormrider symbols reveal optimum wind, tide, swell size and direction, as well as wave type and bottom contour. Crowds, hazards, dangerous sea-life, pollution, access and environmental problems are also noted. A picture tells a thousand words so there are hundreds of the best photos of European surf ever compiled. Stunning images in crisp colour from the cream of the world's surf photographers add that extra dimension that makes "The Stormrider Guide Europe - Atlantic Islands" the most detailed surf guide money can buy.

Format:Paperback
The Stormrider Guide Europe has been my surfing Bible for years and this new Atlantic Islands issue will be replacing my old dog eared copy in the side door of my car. I now have to add new territories like Iceland and the Azores to my long list of must go and surf destinations. The photos are amazing and just make you want to jump in the car or on a plane and go surfing. Checking the fully revised information on my local spots shows they have done their homework and improved the description of many surf spots, getting all the basic facts right, which wasn't the case in the last edition. There's enough reading for a whole weeks flat spell with some mad environmental facts and the surfing history for each country. Top marks Low Pressure - when is The World number 3 coming out?

These guides have it right, inspiring photos , not too many spots and some key details- sometimes deliberately wrong??? Enough to get you out searching.
