by Sanoe Lake and Steven Jarrett Speaking as a middle aged woman in New England, a book about surfing is about as nonrelevant as you can get, but I'll be darned if Surfer Girl: A Guide to the Surfing Life didn't make me want to go catch a wave (in the face probably). The book is full-color informative fun from start to finish. The lively insider style clues the girl reader in on everything from the correct use of the word "dude," to protecting your skin from the sun, to how to safely fall off a board. This little book is literally packed with info. It also has very cool photos and a truly amusing running shark joke cartoon. I found the parts on the history of surfing and women to be truly fascinating, as well as the part technology has played in making surfing more accessible for women. I would consider this book indispensable for any young woman interested in surfing - it's information rich for the newcomer and just plain funny for those with a bit of experience (plus, they may learn something in spite of themselves) - and there's enough focus on safety to make any mom feel better. So, if your honey doesn't want to be a kook, get her this book - she'll be stoked. |
