This review is from: Sick Surfers Ask the Surf Docs (Paperback)
they cover most everything. I just wish they added some first aid tactics in detail. I would recommend this to most any traveling surfer.

This review is from: Sick Surfers Ask the Surf Docs (Paperback)
Really well done. A very good supplement to a basic understanding of first aid, conditionings, health, fitness, and so on as those topics relate to surfing specifically.
A more recent edition is needed as some of the information is approaching 20 yrs old. An update should include updates to case studies as well as advances in surgery, medications, and so on.

This review is from: Sick Surfers Ask the Surf Docs (Paperback)
This book is fantastic! When I was traveling in Central America I developed a weird bump in my chest, right under my sternum. I did a quick search on the internet and found nothing, then I emailed my friend back home and told her to read this book and see if anything came up ... sure enough, they covered my exact ailment ... an inflamed xyphoid process!
This book is full of ailments that pertain only to surfers that few other medical professionals would know about. For the small price, it's worth having as a reference. But since it is so comprehensive, it is a bit too big/heavy/thick to lug around on a trip when you'll need it most, so maybe read up a bit and leave it with a friend who you can contact. For sure get this book!
