Gorgeous book! I was given this book as a Christmas gift because of my love of Chris Burkhard's photos. While not a surfer, the photos and text is fantastic. I spent next five days reading it over coffee in front of the wood burning stove each morning and I LOVED it.

Beautiful book with incredibly pretty pictures. Along with that, there are a couple of fun reports about the locals, culture and surf in the unlikely places these guys visited.
