Summary
A brilliantly evocative and comprehensive look at our growing love affair with surfing -- not just who's doing it and why, but where the best waves are to be found in the British Isles.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:

People are flocking to the sport in record numbers, often defying the unforgiving British climate to make the best of what can be some world-class waves. But is it all just surf dudes in VW camper vans heading down for a week's hell-raising in Newquay? Or is the sport attracting a wider range of addicts, often eschewing the established beaches in pursuit of a more solitary, and sometimes more dangerous, goal? In Surf Nation: In Search of the Fast Lefts and Hollow Rights of Britain and Ireland, Alex Wade takes the pulse of these islands' surfing credentials, and finds a growing army of devotees as well as some stunning locations. A witty and engaging mix of travelogue, reportage and guide to where to find the best breaks, SURF NATION reveals Britain and Ireland to be not just a growing hotbed of surfers but a surf destination of real credibility.
