1.0 out of 5 stars TERRIBLE !!!!!!!!!!, September 29, 2005

G. Brind (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Surf Book (Hardcover)

I surf a lot (4 times per week) all over San Diego and thought since it is called Surf Book and Joel Tudor is a great local surfer. I thought this book would have lots of surf pics, but it just has pics of classic surfers just bumming about, not even surfing or near a beach !!! To top it off it has pics of Jerry Lopez snowboarding...... I think out of 200 pages there must be about 5 pics of surfing. I RETURNED this book which cost me $41 I paid, and I got just $16 back. However I would rather have lost the money than have this TERRIBLE book... :o( Find another surf book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too hyped i think !!, September 26, 2005

S. O. DRISCOLL "Shaneface" (Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Surf Book (Hardcover)

Great cover shot and from previous reviews i thought it would
be full of some great obscure and different photos but alas no..
It is largely a book of portraits of surfing greats but not many of actual surf. i thought it would be like thomas campbells stuff but it wasnt.
