From the Back Cover:

Everything you need to know about waves Classic surf trips, from California to Cornwall Iconic surf movies and legendary image-makers Profiles of surfing greats, including Miki Dora, Nat Young, and Kelly Slater Practical advice--from becoming a greener surfer to travel essentials and how surfing conquered the world!

It was the sport of Polynesian princes whose names have been lost to history. It is a lifestyle, an art, a sacred rite, a belief system--a unique way of being that deeply tunes the wave-rider into the planet's natural rhythms. It is a billion-dollar industry with millionaire superstars. It is ocean and adrenaline and magic.

The Book of Surfing is a one-stop killer guide to the complete surfing universe for the long-time enthusiast and movie alike.
