 In 2000, a new and spectacular wave was “discovered”, created by an unusual reef break off the coast of Tahiti. Within days, this wave–known as Teahupoo–had become a mecca for surfers from around the world who flocked to Tahiti for competitions and to test their mettle against the most terrifying wave ever ridden. In this one-of-a-kind volume, acclaimed extreme-sports photographer Tim McKenna shares with readers a collection of photographs chronicling the beauty, brute force, and unsurpassed surfing opportunities associated with Teahupoo. |

 The
Girl's Guide to Surfing delivers the right
kind of information to master the skill of surfing.
You'll learn what kind of surf equipment is specifically
right for women and how to get it. Learn how to
read local breaks and tides for catching the right
wave at the right spot. Get the lowdown on surf
etiquette to avoid getting yelled at, or worse,
crashing into someone. |
  This
Surfing guide is a must have if you are planning
a surfing trip to Costa Rica. The author gives very
good descriptions of breaks, crowds, water hazards,
etc. This surf guide was our bible when we took
a girl's only surf trip to Costa Rica. I appreciated
the packing tips of surfboards and what to bring.
I recommend buying this book and taking a surf trip
to Costa Rica. |

: A Guide to the
Surfing Life |

  The
book won’t replace getting in the water and
good instruction, but it does offer advice on overcoming
fear or hesitation and is reassuring on one important
point: all surfers begin as kooks. In fact, even
seasoned surfers sometimes goof up and look like
kooks again. A great read that will surely empower
and motivate surfers of every level and ability.
