Book excerpt: This guide showcases the world of extreme surfing, describing the unique culture associated with this daredevil's sport, providing insights into what makes the top riders tick, explaining the science of big waves, and more. "The Pipeline" in O'ahu, Hawaii. "Maverick's Point" in northern California. "Ours" near Sydney, Australia. All over the world, extreme surfers risk severe injury or even death from riptides, shark attacks, and collisions with the seabed itself, just to experience the ultimate high from tackling—and triumphing over—one of the most powerful forces on earth. Surfing: The Ultimate Guide explains the culture of extreme surfing—including the often violent "locals only" mentality—and analyzes the dangers involved in riding the world's biggest and most ferocious waves. The author examines the history of extreme surfing, including past and contemporary heroes; the science of giant waves; the technical criteria for riding them; and the future of big-wave riding.

Book excerpt: In 1973, young Kevin Naughton and Craig Peterson took to the road with surfboards, camera gear and an untameable desire for adventure. For ten years they scoured the planet in search of perfect waves and the experiences only a traveler on the road encounters. "Kevin Naughton and Craig Peterson are two surfers who defined surf travel in the early 1970's. They set off with a board each and rough maps, heading for the most remote possible places in West Africa and beyond, all for the quest of undiscovered surf spots. They felt the flow of travel, and they breathed in the air of the countries they visited, writing the odd mystical surf story for SURFER magazine, sending down the occasional alluring image of a wave breaking off a shipwreck, in front of a mile high sand dune, or at the bottom of a sheer cliff." Craig Jarvis, Tracks magazineThis series of books chronicles their journey. Featuring original photos and text from California, Mexico, El Salvador, Costa Rica, West Africa, Sahara Desert, Morocco, Ireland, France, Fiji, South Africa and beyond.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A finalist for the PEN Center USA Award for Nonfiction Welcome to Paradise, Now Go to Hell, is surfer and former war reporter Chas Smith’s wild and unflinching look at the high-stakes world of surfing on Oahu’s North Shore—a riveting, often humorous, account of beauty, greed, danger, and crime. For two months every winter, when Pacific storms make landfall, swarms of mainlanders, Brazilians, Australians, and Europeans flock to Oahu’s paradisiacal North Shore in pursuit of some of the greatest waves on earth for surfing’s Triple Crown competition. Chas Smith reveals how this influx transforms a sleepy, laid-back strip of coast into a lawless, violent, drug-addled, and adrenaline-soaked mecca. Smith captures this exciting and dangerous place where locals, outsiders, the surf industry, and criminal elements clash in a fascinating look at class, race, power, money, and crime, set within one of the most beautiful places on earth. The result is a breathtaking blend of crime and adventure that captures the allure and wickedness of this idyllic golden world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's Note The premise of this book is to give the reader a glimpse into what it was like to be a young surfer in the 60s and early 70s. These are the stories of what happened to my surfing buddies and me but more importantly they are the stories of the everyday surfer, the guys and gals who were out there going to the beach enjoying being young and living the lifestyle of that time period. Everyone who surfed or went to the beach has similar stories to tell. Over the years I've shared my surfing stories with people and listened to numerous stories as well. These are our adventures, experiences and the crazy things we did. The front and back cover design was done by Garry Birdsall of Australia. He was a top touring competitive surfer during the 60s, 70s and 80s in Australia and competitions around the world. He was the first person ever to do Air Brush artwork on a surfboard. And now it is about the only way boards are designed. I was born and raised in Pomona, Southern California during the 50s, 60s and early 70s. I always enjoyed going to the beach on our family trips and vacations and would sometimes notice people standing up on large boards while being pushed along on the water. It looked like fun but I didn't really know what they were doing because I was too young. Eventually when I understood that what they were doing was surfing I became interested in it and was hoping to one day give it a try. The 60s ushered in the beach and surfing music by the Beach Boys, Jan & Dean and numerous other groups. The music along with all the beach and surfing movies of the time only helped to spark our interest in surfing. By the mid 60s I finally got a chance to try my hand at surfing while on a beach trip with some friends and found out it wasn't as easy as they made it look. After countless hours of determination, many wipeouts I finally stood up and caught my first wave. Even though it was the soupy white water it still felt pretty neat. After that I couldn't get enough. I'd go as often as I could especially on nice weekends and during the summer. Then a group of guys at school were talking about going to the beach to go surfing and so one day we all went on our first surfing trip together. The title of the book "Surfing Adventures of the 60s, 70s and Beyond" refers to our adventures, experiences, misadventures and the wild, crazy and funny things that happened to us during the 60s and early 70s when we were going to the beach and surfing. The part "and Beyond" refers to not only a few other time periods and places other than Southern California but a few funny things that happened that had nothing to do with surfing. Music was an important ingredient in the surfing experience especially Beach and Surfing Music. A few of the lyrics of these surfing songs have been inserted throughout the book, including a few instrumentals. (But you'll have to use your imagination to hear the music for these though.) While in High School I began writing poetry and have written about 300 poems over the years. Some of the poems have been about the beach or surfing. I've included about 20 of these poems throughout the book as well. This book has been a lot of fun to write and I'm very pleased to share these stories and our adventures with you and I hope you enjoy them. I'm also hoping to put together another surfing book with your help. So if you have any funny, crazy interesting or hair raising stories that you've told over the years and would like to share with others then send them too me. I'd love to hear from you, as I've mentioned in other parts of the book. Send your stories to me at: [email protected]. Everyone who sends in their stories, if it is used, will receive full credit, acknowledgement and compensation (to be determined later) for their stories and will retain the rights to reuse their stories as they see fit. I believe there are a lot of people out

For some it might mean longboarding mellow chest-high waves in board shorts, followed by a great sushi dinner; for others it may mean donning a six-millimeter wetsuit to brave near-freezing waters and triple overheads. Fifty Places to Surf Before You Die attempts to capture the spectrum of surfing experiences—from beginner-friendly to downright death-defying.” Featuring interviews with seasoned surfing experts such as pro surfer Joel Parkinson and Billabong executive Shannan North, Fifty Places to Surf Before You Die is an essential travel companion for surfers of all levels who are looking to catch that perfect wave.
