Book Reviews of Surf's Up: The Girl's Guide to Surfing
Book Review: Great for anyone learning to surf, guys as well
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book for my 11 yr old daughter who started surfing with me a couple of years ago. When she was finished, I read this book to see how it was. It was one of the best surf books I ever read. I think that the fact that it was geared towards women by a women, it made it more relaxed and fun. We (men) tend to get to serious and lose the point of it. Anyway, Louise (the author) was playful as well as insightful. You can tell by this book that Louise really loves surfing and her whole souful lifestyle. Her kind and warm personality shown through by her writing.
I would highly reccogmend this book to anyone who wants to learn how to surf or just be part of the relaxed surf culture.
P.S. I bought a copy for myself and refer to it all the time. Great job Louise. I am now a big fan of yours. Aloha
