Although centuries have passed since Polynesians first surfed, the same timeless waves rise up out of the deep Pacific, and a world popular sport still reaches its apex in the place of its birth: Hawaii. This big, action-packed guide book is full of maps, travel advisories, beachside commentaries and up-to-date inside info on surfing sites and, all the information needed to make any surfer's next visit to Hawaii an endless summer of waves and more waves-and to make any armchair traveler green (or tan) with envy. Drawing on the knowledge of an expert author/surfer and photographer/ surfer, Surfing Hawaii covers every island and every great beach in lush, exotic detail.
