 The revised and updated edition will now feature sequential colour photographs of professional surfers.  Green conscious surfers will love the updated Green Seas section, which will feature updated organizations and discusses potential impact of global warming/rising sea levels on surfing in the future.  A larger Appendix will also be added with more web-based information that is vital for any beginner.
