Book Reviews of Surf Diva: A Girl's Guide to Getting Good Waves

Book Review: A Must-Read for Surf Divas in Training!
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is an absolute must-read for any gal who wants to learn to surf! I wish it was published 20 years ago!

Izzy and Coco have given women's surfing a tremendous boost by offering this easy and fun-to-read "how-to" guide to women's surfing. It's full of useful tips about such necessary things as the right size board for your particular surfing conditions, safety precautions, and surfing etiquette.

I grew up at the beach in the late 70's and early 80's and wanted to learn to surf, but I was too shy to ask the boy surfers for help, and besides, they weren't too friendly with my being in the water and possibly taking THEIR waves. I chickened out and remained a diehard bodysurfer.

If I'd had Surf Diva as my handbook, or if I'd been lucky enough to take a class from the Surf Diva Surf School, I'd have undoubtably taken up surfing and would most likely still be surfing today.

I just had my first baby, a daughter, and as soon as she's old enough, I hope she'll be lucky enough to take a Surf Diva class and read Surf Diva: a girl's guide to getting good waves.

Summary of Surf Diva: A Girl's Guide to Getting Good Waves

From the founders of the original surf school for women, Surf Diva is both a witty, irreverently written lifestyle book and an informative how-to guide. Written with the Surf Diva School motto firmly in mind--"The best surfer in the water is the one having the most fun"--Surf Diva inspires women to suit up in neoprene and claim their share of male-dominated waves. Whether it's finding a welcoming beach or selecting the perfect surfboard, recovering from a wipeout or simply basking in the spirituality of the ocean, this book shows and tells you how to be a surfer with incomparable style and a healthy dose of beach attitude.

Offering advice from professional surfers, testimonials from surf students and instructors, and tips on how to stay safe while also having fun, Surf Diva is perfect for budding female surfers or any woman who has ever dreamed of catching a killer wave.

PRAISE FOR THE SURF DIVA SURF SCHOOL

"Surf Diva is the Starbucks of female-only surfing clinics; it's the model for scores of women's classes that have popped up around the world."-NEWSWEEK

"Surf Diva packed a real surf experience into two days. They taught camaraderie and chick power. They projected attitude, but not testosterone . . . Best of all, they got women . . . addicted to that rush of riding a wave. There is nothing like it." -LOS ANGELES TIMES
