Summary: The Publisher, Ten Speed Press
Review: Back by popular demand, here is the definitive reference for surf bums everywhere-or at least any gremmie who's ever wondered about the semantic subtleties distinguishing "bitchin'" from "killer." Informative and often hilarious, this bible of the cult of Kahuna is arranged in 3,000 alphabetical entries, interspersed with information on the history of surfing, keys to international surf vocab, and practical tips. You'll not only talk the talk-you'll walk the walk. Or rip the rip, as the case may be.--Updated for the millennial surfer to keep you on the cutting edge of surfspeak from "aaaaahooo!" to "zup" --Packed with color and black-and-white photos and illustrations

Summary: Hysterical Reference for the Surfin'Culture
Review: I bought the original version of this book as a Christmas gift when it was released in 1991. It was so funny, I always intended on getting a copy for myself. I couldn't find a copy after that Christmas and it seemed to go out of print really quick. I have been looking for a used copy ever since. I was really "stoked" (buy the book to read a definition of "stoked") when I checked the web for used copies of the original that there was a new version out! I'm going to buy one and two more for gifts right after I finish this review. Although it's technically a reference book, I actually read it cover to cover before I wrapped it as a gift. I couldn't put it down. I found it fun, easy, and entertaining to read. Even a surfer could read it! (Just kidding. Chill out, Dude!)

Summary: a great read!
Review: I'm proof that this is a really entertaining book, even if you're not a surfer (I'm not). The author gets across a real feel for the surfing subculture. Anyone who is interested in surfing, the ocean, surf music, etc would love this book.

Summary: This book is "in thar"
Review: Trevor Cralle captures the essence of the combination of surfing, linguistics and geography. A true "geographer for peace".
