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

Maybe you?d like to join those surfers you watch from the comfort of your beach towel? With women?s surfing booming as never before, now is the perfect time to grab a board and get out there! If you?re a girl who longs to mix it up with the boys in the surf, carve graceful lines across the face of a wave, and feel the exhilaration of surfing, this book is for you. Surf?s Up has it all, including

? how to find the right waves
? how to paddle out, catch waves, stand up, and turn your board

Writing with the passion that comes from living the surfing life for more than fifteen years, Louise Southerden brings her love of surfing to every page, offering a glimpse of surfing subculture, surf lingo, the rules of the waves, and helpful tips from other surfer girls who have survived the learning-to-surf journey.
