Ein Klassiker und die Bibel der Euro-Surfer. Ein Muss für all die sich auf den Weg entlang Europas Küste machen wollen. Jede Menge Bilder und detailierte Hintergrundinformationen zu den Spots.
It’s here! The first half of the real “Surfer’s Bible” has hit the shelves after a painstaking 2 years of research and writing. It has taken so long because every single beach, reef and pointbreak has been completely revised and updated since the release of the last Stormrider Guide Europe back in 1997. All the oceanography, meteorology and swell forecasting pages have been brought bang up to date, along with the low down on the Ocean Environment, including pollution, erosion, access and hazards. We have also interviewed the old timers, getting the historical facts of the good ‘ol days all straightened out, plus assessed the state of the surf scene, industry, media and localism. Other improvements include super detailed relief mapping to help navigate the journey from Denmark to Morocco, not only taking in the heavyweight countries of France, Spain and Portugal, but also the lesser known waters of the Mediterranean, home to some real eye-opening waves along the coast of Italy and the nearby islands. Let’s not forget the chilly waters of the North Sea nations, where uber-stoked Danish, German, Dutch and Belgian surfers are flocking to the beach whenever the surf’s up! The other defining feature of a Stormrider Guide Europe is the bringing together of the finest surf photos available and displaying them all in one place. Quality is non-negotiable and the latest collection from Europe’s pro lensmen raises the bar for all surf photography. Breathtaking images illuminate the power and beauty of both the Atlantic and Mediterranean, creating a valuable visual resource for all European surfers. With the Stormrider Guide Europe – Atlantic Islands to come in spring ‘07, there’s no doubt that this 2 book box set will be the most authoritative, exhaustive and beautiful guide available.
