Book Reviews of Surfing Hawaii: A Complete Guide to the Hawaiian Islands' Best Breaks (Surfing Series)

Book Review: It Does the Job, but Could Use More
Summary: 4 Stars

I used the Surfing California book in this series in the past, and thought that was a better book not only because it provided more in-depth reviews and details of specific surf locations, but also because it skipped the body-boarding locations, which I had no use for. Surfing Hawaii will be useful for the person who doesn't know Hawaii well, but I wish it would give detailed information on ALL the locations, not just the ones it deems more popular. Granted it lists pretty much all the locations, but for a lot of them it only gives a one-paragraph description, while for other locations there can be pages of info. All-in-all, the book could use more, but it does the job and is probably the best of all the surf travel books.
