About this title

From the Publisher:

Often referred to as "The Bible" The Stormrider Guide Europe is the reference guide to surfing in Europe. For a dozen years, The Stormrider Guide Europe has been the best selling surf guide in the world. Have you ever met a surfer who didn’t know what a Stormrider Guide is? Stormrider Guides are read and reread dozens of times by many ocean users, during the dreaming about, planning for, leaving on, and remembering of trips.

From the Author:

The Stormrider Guides rely on local surfer input for content and accuracy so when travelling to someone elses backyard, remember it could be the local boys who helped you get there. Try to remember that almost all surfers travel so everyone knows the feeling of being intimidated by a minority of small minded locals. Show respect, wait your turn and try to give out some positive vibes in the increasingly crowded line-ups of Europe. Celebrate the huge cultural differences and variety of waves on offer and try to minimise your impact on the fragile environment that surrounds the ride.

Keep paddling
