Product Description

Review

"...takes you through all the essential first steps". --Carve Surfing Magazine

"...a definitive guide to UK surf beaches." -- Carve Surfing Magazine

"A must-have for anyone who wants to explore our coastline and its jewels". --Timesonline.typepad.com, Thursday 19th June 2008 --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.


Product Description

Surfing is booming, and this is the guide to Britain’s surf beaches. It has been compiled by a surfer, with input from local surfers all round the coast. You just can’t beat local knowledge to help you find exciting waves in unexpected places. Each chapter deals with a particular section of the coastline. A numbered map highlights each beach, the numbers on the map corresponding to numbers in the text. Here, each `break’ is discussed together with details about the beach including access, facilities and accommodation. Using this book, you should always be able to find the best waves going, whatever your standard. Surfers like to get together so an appendix gives the names and addresses of local surf shops, clubs and schools. Plus where to phone for surf reports. In short, this is the best companion in your travels to find the perfect wave.

4.0 out of 5 stars a handy book to have but...., 9 Sep 2003
By Mr. Ap Whalley (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is a handy one to have if you're a reasonably well experienced surfer but do not buy this if you are a beginner, many of the spots listed are sketchy at best and should only be attempted by more experienced surfers. On the other hand, if you know what youre doing this book gives you a chance to find less crowded waves. Particularly if you surf in North Wales. It lists many more spots than the Stormrider guide however these tend to be the spots that rarely work. Im not sure if the rumor is true or not but i have been told that the author got a few beatings for giving away what were once secret spots (if there is such a thing).

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly detailed Uk guide, 28 Mar 2001
By Mr. J. S. Buchanan "buchananjames" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book should piss off a few locals , as it gives great detail about known spots and indicates 'secret spots.' A must for anyone without a surf break outside their door or anyone who wants to explore
