About the Author: Chris Nelson and Demi Taylor check the Cornish surf from their bedroom window every morning. Chris grew up surfing the frigid reefs of northeast England. He founded and edited two of the UK’s most influential board sports magazines- Asylum and Freeride- spending almost a decade interviewing surfing’s heroes and anti-heroes. He is a freelance writer, but more importantly he’s a sucker for a right-hand point break. Demi has travel in her blood- her childhood spanned four continents. She caught her first wave in ’92 and has been hooked on surfing ever since. After handling the UK communications for the world’s largest surf brand, she left home to become a freelance write and photographer and to spend more time surfing those left-hand beach breaks she loves so much. Together they have written How to be a Surfer and Footprint’s Surfing Britain. Customer Reviews

 Rating: - Footprint Surfing EuropeI've been waiting for a book like this to come along for years and I'm not disappointed by this one. On the contrary, it's got all the best surf spots throughout Europe and Morocco and would be a valuable companion on any trip. It also includes listings for where to stay and eat and even what to do when there's no surf. Highly recommended. Rating: - OutstandingIt sits on the parcel shelf everywhere I go, mates are always picking it up then they go out and get their own. A thoroughly well-thumbed guide. Great stuff! Rating: - The new surfers bible!Wow! This book is an amazing piece of work. It has all the surf breaks, accurate maps that actually get you to the breaks, cool stories and board advice. But it wasn't until I hit the road this Autumn that I realised just how much info is in this book. It has cool surfer friendly places to sleep, great value places to eat and great bars to drink in at every stop along the way. It meant I didn't need to waste money on a travel guide or waste time searching for decent places to stay. It's also a neat size to travel with and has loads of great photos. I scored some amazing waves that I'd never even heard of before. It has made me realise the true surfing potential of Europe. Rating: - Stormrider taken by storm... Footprint are here...Even if you have the Stormrider, you need to get your hands on this brilliant surf guide. It not only covers over 600 spots, but highlights where to stay, eat, drink, what to do on flat days etc. It has brilliant maps. Crisp and clear. I would call it "the bible to Surfing Europe". Check it out. Patrick Rating: - awesomeI've just bought this book and I have to say it's the best surf guide out there. Its got more spots than my Stormrider but it also has info on places to stay, surf shops, tips from top surfers, stuff to actually read - I don't know why no one's done this before. I'm off to France next week and this will definately be on my dashboard. Nice one. |
