I recently bought this issue of the Stormrider guide as I have been living for the last 1 1/2 years in El Salvador and I have at least the same time left here. I often thought about buying the book but in the end I didn't get it, because I thought I could anyway find the same information on the internet. Probably the reader of this review is in the same position?!Now I finally bought the book and it was worth every cent. Of course the well known spots in El Salvador were not new to me but some spots in the deserted East, I only knew by name and that are not described on the internet, are in the book. That's of course only the part about El Salvador.My last trip to Nicaragua could have been so much easier with the book and I would have known how to get to some waves I only heard of afterwards because they were not even mentioned on the internet.The descriptions are really good and the information is 110% of what you find anywhere on the internet.I'm already looking forward to my trip this summer to Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama and to the Xmas trip to Mexico. This time I won't miss the hidden spots in Nicaragua.To cut this short:Paying the money for the book saves so much time on the internet and makes finding waves a lot easier. An added bonus are many great photos and some background about history and environmental issues... Really a good investment.GO FOR IT and get awarded with empty line-ups and perfect waves.
The Stormrider Surf Guide series is quality. Fun and easy to read with pictures that make you wish you were there. The content is useful but leaves you wanting for more. This would be great for a novel but this is a reference guide! I want more details! Overall it peaks your interest to make you want to venture out, so I say the book is a success (same for all the Stormrider Surf Guides I own). Now go call your travel agent and charge !!
This is in no way a guide to anything. If you are casually interested in Central America and want to look at some pictures and day dream, this book is for you. If you want to travel there and surf, forget it. I was thinking this is an all in 1 purchase covering a large area, totally stoked, until I received it. I'm off to try and find another book...waste of $!
Please see my review of allnewbooks for comments on the overall buying experience. Their shipping took well over 2 weeks to get from NJ to NH!! I would suggest never buying from allnewbooks and putting the extra couple of dollars you may save to [...] and save yourself the stress!!
A gift for my boyfriend and he really enjoyed it. I got him The World book 5 years ago and still see him leafing through on lazy weekends. Great book series
One of the better guides to surfing in Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean.It gives good, accurate information on the surf scenes in Costa Rica so I assume that the descriptions of other locals must be accurate. I can say that the descriptions of the Costa Rica scenes on both the Pacific and Caribbean sides are fairly accurate.Maybe someday will have the opportunity to check areas on the south Mexico coastline.
I was back-ordered on this book for 2mos. Then cancelled.Now it's $418.00 a copy? This is not meeting up to s good standards
I own several of the stormrider surf guides and to date have greatly appreciated everything about them. I purchased this book expecting it to contain more surf spots and greater detail of surfing in Central America and the Caribbean then the Stormrider World Guide. This book may include a few additional surf spots no included in the world guides, however it is far from comprehensive and I will need to buy additional guide books for these locations.
