Book Reviews of The Encyclopedia of Surfing
Book Review: Serious Research on the sport of surfing
Summary: 5 Stars
Matt went to Berkeley, a top-notch school, and so his research skills are high-level. One of the contributing ghost writers, who didn't get credit on this work, Nathan, just wrote a great surfing screenplay titled "Bliss" you can read for free on [... But I digress, I've surfed since the sixties, read all the magazines and books, and was surprised to read things here I didn't know. Sometimes I laugh at the magazine writers of today as they get things wrong about the sport's early days. Matt's always spot on. Anyone with the surfing bug, the desire to become a Don Redondo -- wiseman, wiseguy, or shaman of the sport -- needs to read this book.
