Description

The Longboard Travel Guide is the first surf guidebook written specifically for longboarders. Loaded with mouth-watering lineup photos, the book describes 100 of the best longboard waves in the world and offers insider tips on how to ride them. From the Maldives to Australia’s Gold Coast, from Costa Rica to Fiji, from Samoa to Sri Lanka, all the classic destinations are here. A smorgasbord of less-well known areas are also included for adventurous surfers who thirst for uncrowded waves. The book covers every aspect of surf travel for longboarders: where to go, where to stay, what gear to take, how to get in shape for your trip and how to stay healthy abroad. Longboarders of all ages and abilities will benefit from the practical advice offered by a writing team of seasoned travelers and pros. There’s plenty to soak up, whether you’re planning a road trip to Europe, a cold-water trip to Canada, or a boat trip to the Maldives. The Longboard Travel Guide features more than 200 colour photos by some of the best photographers in the business including Chris Burkard, Alan van Gysen and John Callahan. The foreword is written by Taylor Jensen, the former ASP World Longboard Champion. Packed with sublime photos, up-to-date info and real-life traveller’s tales, The Longboard Travel Guide is the essential handbook for all longboarders who yearn to find perfect waves.
