The Stormrider Surf Guide: Portugal

Reliable Surf Travel Information | 23 pages

The Stormrider Surf Guide: North Sea Nations

Reliable Surf Travel Information | 20 pages

The North Sea Nations of Denmark, Germany, The Netherlands and Belgium are not the most alluring of European surf destinations, yet more and more surfers are hitting the line-up every year. Since the windsurfing boom of the ‘80s, people have been dropping their sails and braving the cold North Sea, chilly Kattegat and icy Baltic, to ride the shifting beach and jettybreaks. Classic days can be had when the wind that brings the swell dies down, but surfing the regular onshore days is all part of the experience. The local surf culture has grown from a tradition of winter travelling, although this is when the hard core are rewarded with some real North Sea juice.

The Stormrider Surf Guide: Central California

Reliable Surf Travel Information | 30 pages

The Central California coast between San Francisco and Point Arguello is one of the world's most fickle, weather-beaten, rugged, frustrating and beautiful stretches of shoreline in the world. Surf-wise, it's magically diverse, picking up the same swells and winds that buffet NorCal year-round, but here the coast angles a bit more to the SE (not to mention the S-facing haven of Santa Cruz), which offers some respite from the wind. Central California is a veritable paradise for the persistent surf-seeker who doesn't mind icy water, narrow serpentine roads, or the virtually inevitable disappointment of fluctuating wave quality.
