The main section of the book focuses on the classic surfing destinations such as Queensland's Gold Coast, Hawaii's North Shore, the Maldives, the Mentawai Islands, Bali, the Canary Islands, Costa Rica, Barbados, Puerto Rico, Sri Lanka, Fiji, Tahiti, Southwest France and Southern California. Each location is described and dissected, with insider tips about how to score the best conditions. Several less well-known areas, such as the Lakshadweep Islands and Madagascar are also included for experienced surfers who thirst for pristine uncrowded waves. Five of the world's greatest 'surf cities' are also featured: Durban, Biarritz, Santa Cruz, Huntington Beach (LA) and Honolulu.Surfers of all levels will benefit from the travel tips on offer, whether they're going on a road trip to California, a camping trip to France or a boat trip to Indonesia.
