Surf Survival: The Surfer's Health Handbook
"This thorough, authoritative and oddly enjoyable book tells you not only how to treat surfing's myriad ailments, but also how to prevent them. For that reason alone, it might be the most important piece of surf literature you ever buy. All that, plus lots of photos of gnarly injuries." -- --Steve Hawk, former editor, Surfer Magazine"Nobody has thought more, studied more, or cared more about the lifelong health and survival of surfers than Mark Renneker. 'Surf Survival' brings together all that priceless knowledge, along with invaluable contributions from Nathanson and Everline, to make a must-have volume for every surfer everywhere. From surf-specific wilderness first aid--critical on any serious surf trip, anywhere on earth--to big-wave safety and even the very real scourge of surfer's ear, it's all here. Don't even think about it: if surfing plays any role in your life, you need this book." ----Daniel Duane, author of "Caught Inside: A Surfer's Year on the California Coast""I've read over 100 surfing-related books, but 'Surf Survival' is the first one that I'll carry with me on every surf trip." ----Drew Sievers, The Waterman's Library"Good medicine, and a fun read in the bargain. Read this book and surf until you¹re 100." ----Matt Warshaw, author of "The History of Surfing"
