Lineup of Good Reads
Written
by SurfWriter Girls Sunny Magdaug and Patti Kishel
When you're searching for the
perfect gift for the surfers on your Christmas list, take a look at these books
SurfWriter Girls found for you.
Inspiring and hopeful, each book
shares the stoke of living life to the fullest in tune with nature.
The Blue Zones Kitchen: 100 recipes
to live to 100, by Dan Buettner, contains 100
recipes from the world’s Blue Zones – the places where the healthiest, happiest
people live. Gathered from Sardinia to Okinawa to Costa Rica, Buettner’s
recipes are the perfect diet for wellness and mental health.
Fletcher: A lifetime in Surf, by Dibi Fletcher, chronicles the amazing Fletcher family –
Dibi, her husband surfing legend Herbie Fletcher and their two sons – as they
become the epitome of surfing and skateboarding cool. With 50 years of stories,
it’s packed with photographs, artwork, and celebrity contributions.
Nature's Best Hope: A new approach
to conservation that starts in your yard,
by Douglas W. Tallamy, outlines his grassroots plan to save the environment by
getting each of us involved. Without relying on government, it puts individuals
in charge to create safe spaces for plants and animals where we live.
Surf for your Life, by Tim Baker, is Mick Fanning's story about his wild
ride on the ASP surf tour – with three world championships and a near death
encounter with a great white shark. Nick-named “White Lightening” for his speed
on the board, the Australian surfer has had extreme highs and lows, but come
through every time.
Surfing in Huntington Beach (Images
of America), by Mark Zambrano, takes you into
the storied beach community of the city known as Surf City USA. Home to the US
Open of Surfing, HB is where legendary Hawaiian surfer George Freeth “walked on
water” in 1914, demonstrating surfing to mainlanders for the first time.
And, as an extra gift to someone you
care about or to yourself, SurfWriter Girls recommend the classic book Gift
From the Sea, written by Anne Morrow Lindbergh in 1955.
Lindbergh, the wife of famed aviator
Charles Lindbergh, reminds us that the best gifts of all may not come from
stores, but be waiting for us to discover on the beach.
