Title: Very inaccurate writing
Product review: I don't normally review stuff, but this one time I had to say something. This book is wildly inaccurate at times, mostly in geography. Simple stuff like saying a break is north of another when it's south. More simple stuff like distances.There's one entry for Cabo San Lucas that says Todos Santos (the big wave break - not the town) is 60 miles north of Cabo. Well, it's more like 995 miles(!).... that 60 miles is to the town, which is not the big wave spot.Under Mavericks he says Jeff Hawks rode it alone for years. Even non-surfers know the name Jeff Clark.I could go on, but you get the point. It's not just a little inaccurate - it's way off base.Even the photos aren't particularly good - many are badly framed.I feel like this book was written quickly and without adequate research. Clearly the writer hasn't been to many of these spots, so why write about them without researching them first?There are far better coffee table surf guides out there.
