The Surf Trip Survival Handbook

Description

The Surf Trip Survival Handbook - picks up where the Stormrider Guide ends.
"Shit happens" – always, everywhere, and especially on surf trips, as François Liets knows. The Frenchman is the head of the Billabong Adventure Division and goes on tour with Europe's best freesurfers as soon as waves break anywhere – big, brutal, and probably absolutely deadly for mere mortals.
But François has experienced more than just incredible rides on these trips. He's seen jet skis sink in the harbor, cameramen destroy their equipment before the first shot, and wipeouts he'll still be telling his grandchildren about. "What can go wrong, will go wrong," he's convinced now. But if Murphy's Law even plagues professionals like the Adventure Division, why should it spare you?
Therefore:
'Better be ready when the shit goes down'.
144 pages packed with expert tips on how to deal with
Malaria mosquitoes, evil locals and corrupt police officers; surf legends like Laird Hamilton, Mark Healey or Layne Beachley, who explain how to fight your fear, ride the wave of your life and survive wipeouts over a shallow coral reef without a scratch; and the experiences of adventurers who survived on a deserted island or traveled around the world without money.
Anyone who packs the surf trip survival handbook knows how to get sea urchin spines out of their feet, survive a robbery unscathed, which boardshort colors sharks prefer, how to surf with the worst hangover, and what the perfect surf bikini must meet. In short: You're ready – come what may!
The surf trip survival handbook is available in a handy paperback format and comes with a 'surprise bag', a small plastic bag with a drawstring that protects the book from seawater, sand and sun.
