Comments about Other 1010515 Surf Survival Handbook:
this book is the best surf book i have ever written. it is for surfers who definitely already know how to surf and want to make sure they can get themselves out of every situation. it details advanced wound care, resuscitation, and travel medicine. it gives tips on how to be safe in third world countries, and even how to warm up and stay in shape for surfing. it also details how to survive large swell size and the science behind waves. great for taking with you on your next surf safari or just down to your home break. WRITTEN ONLY BY EXPERIENCED SURF DOCTORS! also a great foreword and review by GEORGE LOPEZ
