    • Husband Loved This Book!
I read about this book on a surf blog or website and knew it would be the perfect gift to give my husband who surfs. He recently went on a surf trip to Nicaragua and being the protective wife that I am, I wanted to get him this book. It has a lot of important surf survival information without coming across too technical or cheesy. My husband thought the book was well written and said it's a great book for all surfers to have. I highly recommend it! ... show more

    • A must have for surfers and instructors.
I was introduced to this book while watching a SUP downwind video by Maui's Jeremy Riggs and Suzie Cooney. In the the video, Clay spoke of the sharpest teeth in the ocean aren't sharks, but instead surfboard fins. The book proves this with many examples of surfing accidents from fins and many other issues. It's an idea guide if you're travelling for surf trips and are far from any medical care but also for at home situations. A must have for instructors as well. ... show more

Had I read this before getting involved with the ocean, might not have done that... Too late now, so will just try to be careful.

    • Buy immediately!
Every surfer should own this book. I borrowed it from the library, flipped through it for 5 minutes, and then bought a Kindle version! I will be referring to this as long as I surf. It is easy to read and contains medical advice / some statistics to support findings (i.e. most cold water surfers will develop surers ear after 5 years). The Kindle version works great and clicking the table of contents takes you to the appropriate page. ... show more
