I gave this book to my husband paired with the HB Lifeguard book for the perfect gift. He couldn't put them down, as he grew up bodysurfing HB & still goes out with his "crew" (ages 46-49)!!!! Still tearing it up! I also gave this book to a HB longboarder for Christmas - he appeared to love it also; I just wish now that I would've given him the lifeguard book also!
