Publisher comments
The World Stormrider Guide Vol 2 is the second book in a 3 Volume set. A completely new book to sell alongside the phenomenally successful The World Stormrider Guide Vol 1. Visiting 80 fresh surfing destinations around the world, The World Stormrider Guide Vol 2 explores some of the planet’s lesser known coastlines from Norway to Argentina. Instead of the famous breaks of Hossegor, Sydney or the North Shore of Oahu, we scope Brittany, Byron Bay and the Big Island. The Oceanographic text in Volume 1 shifts onto the Environment in Volume 2, highlighting where the worst problems occur around the world. Anyone who bought The World Stormrider Guide Vol 1 will definitely need The World Stormrider Guide Vol 2 and are sure to want to complete the set when The World Stormrider Guide Vol 3 comes out in 2006!
