Another Point Horror that I’d not read before, I’m starting to think that I had less than half of the collection as a teen!
With this being Cargill only 90’s entry for the range, it was a new author for me.
I may have slightly gone down a rabbit hole as I was quite surprised that she hadn’t written more for the series (until the 2000’s that is...)
I started wondering if she was the youngest author to write for the range, as all her characters seemed authentic and real. She really gets the target audience.
This was a fun sea based adventure with curses and witches, with a nice touch of supernatural suspense.
I liked this one!

I've never read a Point Horror quite like this one. Lots of witchy lore and a great Summer read!

Every once in a while Point Horror throws you a curve ball. The Surfer is that curve ball.
From the synopsis on the back of the book I was expecting your typical teenage girl witnesses a drowning, drowned girl comes back from the dead, creepy stuff ensues. What I actually got was a strange story involving an old fairy tale, a witch's curse, and a whole lot of water-related wackiness.
The downsides were that the story is all over the place, it jumps around quite a lot and feels a bit messy to read. But it makes up for that with a unique story. Overall it was a good read and one that left me asking WTF on numerous occasions!

I pretty much love any story set by the sea, so this Point Horror was always going to be a hit! I was saving it for summer but I'm so fed up with grey winter lockdown I decided to promote it to the top of my to-read list. My favourite part was the back story, learning about the 19th century origins of Lady Ingrid...I probably could have read a whole book on that. If you like maritime legends then I wholeheartedly recommend this little beauty!

Girls lusting after one another, sea myths, utterly bizarre moments – I LOVED THIS! One of my favourite Point Horrors.

Enjoyed the story (evil sea witch with a vendetta who turns people into farm animals !!) but it’s very slow to pick up and then has a short, rushed anticlimactic ending.
You can’t just reveal that the protag is a descendant of the sea witch and has powers, and not have them explore or use said powers! What a missed opportunity.
And the sea witch self-destructs in two seconds. Literally. Where is the struggle
And yes, this is another case of a mysterious hot pale person who shows up and turns out to be EVIL.
I know I’m complaining but I did enjoy the lore (even if it was drawn out) and the overall concept, because we rarely get paranormal (especially WITCHY) entities in Point Horror.

This book is bat-shit!

So Dr Stieveson just had a replacement lined up for his wife when his baby was only three months old.... 🧐
Marina just took the first word she read as her new name eh?
She has all the power in the world and she's wasting it getting revenge on ol' sea captain's great grandchildren... I mean she should have just partied and had fun.
Ingrid. Girl, your so gorgeous that even your great great great grand daughter is a little gay for you and your wasting all the glamour obsessing over your dead ex? Move on, get old ancient witch therapy and live your best life baby! Plenty of 🐟 in the sea and all that.
Thoroughly whacky, it's what I read these old books for.
Also what a gorgeous cover, that teal and gold, chef's kiss.

Enjoyed this one, a really interesting plot and the ending was pretty damn epic in my opinion :D

An evil witch, Marina, surfs into Virginia Beach and begins to take over Jessie's life. Jessie's boyfriend, Nick, fights back, but he's overmatched. Can Marina be stopped? A very suspenseful read!

It’s tough to review this one, it was definitely different!! It started out a little slow paced and the chapters were very long which I don’t like but once it got going it picked up. I liked the folklore and family history elements, those were interesting and I liked the supernatural and magical elements that aren’t usually included in point horror. I do wonder why this was called the surfer when I think there was only 1 scene with surfing in 😂 it should have been called the swimmer or the pier

I found this one kinda ploddy
About a beautiful surfer girl who nearly drowns and who she is really etc
It has supernatural elements and an interesting enough back story but it did info dump and as I say was ploddy

I decided to haul out this book the other day because I have a pile of books that I used to read as a tween/teen and I've been curious about them lately. I barely remember any of them. There's a bit of Sweet Valley High in there and a bunch of Sweet Dreams novels and then a couple of mismatched odds and ends. I remember liking this book as a kid but have to admit that as an adult it no longer appeals quite as much. I do, however, like the idea of this book, and I like reading books like it because sometimes I think about writing YA fiction but feel a little disconnected from the genre. I think Ya has definitely changed a bit from when I was younger. JK Rowling brought in a certain level of sophistication which sometimes makes other books seem juvenile in comparison. But there is still something appealing about a short novel about something trivial. I obviously am not so daring as to attempt a Rowling-like project, but when I read books like this I sort of feel like finding my own YA style somewhere in the middle might be do-able. Rowling is pie-in-the-sky don't-even-bother-trying-to-be-like-her kind of romantic fantasy, but reading these kinds of more basic books kind of helps to make fiction writing feel more doable. You can kind of look at a book like this and go "Yeah I like this and no I don't like that" which is kind of helpful when it comes to being a writer. As a reader though? I have no idea. Like I said, I loved this book as a kid but am pretty indifferent to it now. It wasn't written for my 30+ year old ass though. It was written for the 13 year old who did enjoy it. So that counts, right?

the category The surfer fits on the bingo board is 'a bookwith a female protagonist'.
i decided to read this book because the cover & name painted a picture of a of drama bassed thriller with lots of secrets and mysteries.
I liked how linda Cargill added high detail and emotions because it make the book sound interesting which made me want to keep reading it.
I didnt like how there were so many characters because a couple of times i got confused on who was who, but i later clicked on.
I would recommend this book to my english teacher because she likes to have a bit of spice in our work. haha.

Ok this is one of the best Point Horror books I've ever read! 🤯 It's so unique and I loved the folklore backstory and how quickly the plot moved. Some genuinely frightening scenes in this one!
Also Goodreads really needs to change the cover for this one lol

This book - for a reason which I no longer remember - inspired me to try writing a Christian horror/thriller novel called 'Eternal Darkness.'

This was my gateway book into horror fiction. I never did so well with horror given my over active imagination, but this was just the right amount of horror for me. Quick read, but engaging.

It was one of those books that I read as a teenager. My initiation into grown-up reading perhaps. I still remember my sister getting it from the scholastic book fair in her school. Truly loved it!

Not good. No.

Not one of the best in this series.

This is one of those Point Horror books that takes a very hard turn from the normal formula yet also uses it to its advantage.
The blurb on the back does not do the real story justice so it just sort of lulls you in that this will just be another Point Horror book that you have read for the millionth time.
With that said, there may be a few spoilers I can not work my way around but I will try my best. Just remember that you have been warned so read ahead at your own risk...
Jessie Rogers lives in Virginia Beach. Her parents are educators, a teacher and principal, at her high school and they come down really hard on her. She's always daydreaming and every thing just seems to be not enough for her mother to harp on her weight or her grades or her friends.
Jessie likes to go to the pier just to put her feet in the water and listen to her Walkman but there have been some drownings there lately and her friend Nick has snitched on her to both her mom and dad while they are planning to divorce. That's all Jessie needs...a babysitter in a boy who thinks so highly of himself just for being one year older.
This day that Jessie heads to the pier, she looks out on a slightly stormy day and sees an unusual but intriguing sight. A beautiful girl, tall and blonde and athletic, is out surfing on the waves and she is really good! Jessie is mesmerized watching the girl and she feels the girl smiling at her and then sees her wave and returns it shyly.
Thinking she's met a new friend, Jessie goes to meet the surfer girl but watches in horror as she falls of the surfboard and gets pulled under by a huge wave. Jessie is on the swim team and dives into the water to save the girl but almost drowns herself until Nick comes in after her.
He tries to get Jessie away from the water but she alerts beachgoers to a drowning as her best friend Trish and her sister Dot arrive on the scene of ambulances and police, shopping in the plaza nearby.
The police question Jessie and she tells them how she tried to save the girl. Trish, Dot and especially Nick are skeptical about what Jessie saw, knowing how much of a daydreamer she can be but scuba divers searching for the girl's body find a necklace.
A necklace of seashells and a crystal with a turquoise at its center that Jessie saw the girl wearing.
Nick says he didn't see Jessie talking to anyone as she cried out over the water but the sight of the necklace in Jessie's hand turns self-assured Nick Stieveson white and horror-stricken.
Jessie's name is mixed in with a report of the story and her parents literally ground her and hide the keys to her car. No matter how much Trish, Dot and Nick try to defend Jessie it does not help but Jessie is bound to save that girl.
She can't help but believe she is still alive and that she didn't drown.
Nick finds Jessie back out at the taped off pier later that night, knowing her just as much as she knows herself, and begs her to come home with him. Stubborn at first, Jessie gives in when she notices how spooked Nick looks. Touched by his concern, Jessie goes with Nick to his home.
That night he tells Jessie a story about his family's history. It is a long and fanciful tale more like a bedtime story but Nick believes full-heartedly that the Stieveson line is cursed.
A curse he believes is trying to reach out for Jessie. Because Nick was lying...he saw Jessie talking to a girl. Out on the water and she tried to have Jessie dive in to save her...
The next morning, Nick's parents and sisters come back from their cruise early. They brought a girl with them since Nick's father is a doctor, the best in Virginia Beach, so he can keep an eye on her.
She was rescued from the sea and brought upon their boat.
Jessie and Nick are aghast...it is the surfer girl.
A bracelet says the girl's name is Marina Jacobsen and she becomes friends with Jessie despite Nick's protests. Everyone is charmed by Marina as if they were under a spell but Nick, his father, Trish, Dot and Jessie's mother all seem to be immune.
Is Marina who she really says she is or can all of this be connected back to an ancient curse?
To tell you Nick's tale would very much spoil most of the story but Cargill has some twists and reveals left over to keep you on the edge of your seat. This is more like a dark fairy tale in modern times with a strange kind of Lovecraftian horror thanks to the seaside setting of Virginia Beach and talking of the Norwegian sailors who would come to there and Norfolk in Virginia in the 1890s.
If you think this isn't really horror it is just as dark as any tale from the Grimm Brothers which does classify IMHO. There are thrills and chills despite the lack of any kind of gore and it has the taste of any Twilight Zone episode of the 1960s.
If you have yet to read The Surfer by Linda Cargill and want to dismiss it because of its title sounding silly, do not judge a book by either its cover or title.
A refreshing variation of a Point Horror book, this is one book you should check out.

This is one of the more bizarre Point books I've read. I'm pretty sure this was my first read of it too. I didn't remember any of it, which generally means I've not read a book before.
I feel like this author's son probably needed to do more to help her out with the "kid lingo" (see notes at the back under About The Author where we learn that her son was apparently her "kid interests" consultant). The dialogue definitely didn't strike me as like anything that teens in 1995 would say (I was there so I ought to know). There wasn't really much to coo over in terms of daggy 90s fashion, technology, etc, but I did appreciate the mention of undeveloped rolls of film.
I found Nick's dad to be one of the most hilarious aspects of this story - even when he wasn't meant to be, I don't think). The chat between Nick and his dad between pages 151 and 155 was hilarious in a terrible way. First off, Nick asking about his dad's foot: "What happened? Is it some sort of rare disease?" and then his dad saying, "So I tried to head it off with that scientific brain of mine! Curse my logical mind!"
Anyway, I definitely wasn't expecting this story to go the way it did, and that dramatic ending was really something else.
I won't put this on my 'faves' list, but I'm glad I got through another Point book!

No one believes that Jessie had dived into the sea to rescue a beautiful surfer who had been wiped out by a fierce wave. No one else saw her and her friend Nick had only just managed to save Jessie from the same storm. But then a new girl arrives, staying with Nick’s family after she had been rescued by their cruise ship.
Who is Marina and what does she want?
Well, this is a weird one, veering much further into the supernatural than any point horror I’ve read before and I think I liked it, maybe! This is also a story about families, the ones we are born into and the ones we make ourselves. Jessie’s parents are ridiculously strict but is there a reason? Nick’s family are one of the original town founders but tragedy haunts their lineage. Sisters, Trish and Dot are Jessie’s best friends and along with Nick a solid loving group.
Oceanic legends come to life in this tale of love, power and possession.
It’s….different 🌊🐚

I read this with my book club that I run on Instagram where we revisit Point Horror and other books from our childhood - @talespointhorrorbookclub
Memorable For – Lack or surfing, pig foot and folklore!
Some Thoughts -
After Jessie sees a beautiful surfer disappear under the waves, she jumps straight in the sea to try to rescue her, but to no avail. But then one day, Marina, gets pulled aboard a cruise ship, rescued and brought to shore. But Marina is not all as she seems and she seems to cast a magical spell over the town, Jessie and her family and friends.
Other highlights include an unexpected folklore background of magic curses and family trees, pig feet, a love interest that was not needed, removable eyes, cursed and magical necklaces … I mean I could go on but this one is best enjoyed without knowing too much!
Linda really pushed the boundaries outside of the usual Point Horror formula to give something different to the series and one that will stick with me for a while!

I suspect Cargill had written a draft of this already with Marina and the witch-lore, then scholastic gave her the outline of 'The Surfer' and she just kinda tinkered with the draft to make it sort-of fit.
I feel like I was promised a slasher teen 90's romp and we got this naff supernatural story instead. I do sometimes like naff Point Horror, but unfortunately the writing here isn't great. A lot of tell, not show...

It started off strong with mystery and being very interesting but then for me it went downhill fast into the occult with magic,curses and witches, pretty ridiculous.
The title is very misleading as surfing is only in the first part of the book then nothing.
I had hopes for this Point Horror but it will be on my selling list now.
Disappointing.

I've been reading through my collection of vintage YA books from back in the day that I never had a chance to read as I became too busy with school and life. I read this one as a group read with one of my book groups and could not put it down! I think it's my favorite Point Horror I've read!

A great story line and never a dull moment. A supernatural thriller that I could not put down, especially at bedtime.
