Book Reviews of Surfer Magazine's Guide to Southern California Surf Spots

Book Review: Explaining to the world how to get to everybody's local spots can't be good for surfer cred.
Summary: 4 Stars

This is not a technical, step-by-step shop manual for California surfing: it is more of a field guide for your own surf exploration. If you want lil' matrices diagramming where and when to surf at any given moment, save up and get yourself a membership to a certain surf website.

All in all, the book is definitely useful when getting outside of your normal haunts. It demystifies the places you have heard about but never surfed, and provides enough practical information to get you there.

There is definitely a casual, caustic tone to the thing, which could possibly grate on some people. At the end of each section there are a few words about neat stuff and local histories or curiosities. At the very least, it's an interesting read for those who surf the California coast or dream of doing so.

Get the nor-cal guide too, even if you don't like Surfer Mag.
