The World Stormrider Guide Volume Two–A Surfing Book Review
My housemate’s girlfriend woke up before everyone else in the house and sat down at the kitchen table.

The World Stormrider Guide–Surfing Book Review

Saltwater Buddha: A Surfer’s Quest to Find Zen on the Sea - a Surfing Book Review
Budhism. I don’t even know how to spell it, let alone know what Buddhism means.
Doesn’t matter. I learned about my own path to enlightenment and sageness by reading Jaimal Yogis’ new book, Saltwater Buddha: A Surfer’s Quest to Find Zen on the Sea.
Now, we know our fellow surfers and literary cognoscenti are accustomed to seeing [...]
Laird Hamilton stokes surfers at book signing
“It’s his whole philosophy - health, yoga, surfing. Some people are famous for surfing, but he’s broader than that.” That’s the reason Dutch surfer Hanneke Van Ewijk came to get her copy of Laird Hamilton’s new book signed by the author in person at a recent book signing at Barnes and Noble.
