Who does not know the surfers' "holy scripture"…? The Stormrider Guides compile all the relevant information a surfer's heart can desire: Whether concerning details about wind, tides, climate, accommodation, flights or even parking facilities – with these books in your luggage, no questions will remain unanswered.
