Even dolphins and other sea creatures surf.' Vezen Wu, scientist 'Just the feeling of the water on you, diving and paddling, duck-diving your first wave, seeing a set come, turning around and stroking into it, that initial rush as you drop down the face, the jolts of acceleration as you go through the manoeuvres - there's nothing like it. the only thing that actually comes close to riding waves is sex.'

High Surf The World Most Inspiring Surfers eBook Tim Baker Reviews
Awesome book to put by the bed and read a chapter each night. Best surfing book I've ever read hands down.
this book makes you rethink why you started surfing to begin with. interestingly explores the essence of the sport and way of life. highly recommended for both surfers and non surfers.
A great read for the thinking surfer. Great to get insight into some of the big names in surfing, but much more interesting to read about surfers you probably never knew were surfers like Richard Tognetti nearly dripping salt water out of his nose onto a million dollar violin.
Great read and Tim's writing style and insights between some of the stories make it all the more enjoyable.
There's an exquisite exhilaration in finding a writer you can really learn something from. We spend so much time reading information that's devoid of wisdom. We're information junkies. Information is important, but wisdom is more important - and also more rare. I was blessed to come into contact with Tim Baker's High Surfrecently, a very wise compilation of Baker's profiles of the most intriguing modern surf personalities, from Kelly Slater to Tim Winton to Dave Rastovich, and many more. With my own deadlines looming, I can't write a worthy review at the moment, but even better than anything I could say about the book, check out this short graph below from the introduction. It's just a taste of how Baker will make you look at wave riding -- and life -- in an entirely new light.
"Modern quantum physics and ancient mysticism alike tell us that all life is made up of waves - light waves, sound waves, radio waves. Even physical matter, that which appears solid, is little more than a field of energy, vibrating at a certain frequency. Waves. The ocean surf we ride is the only form of energy in which wave energy can be experienced on a human scale. The waves most of us surf are, on average around head high. They move about as fast as we can run or paddle a surfboard. In many ways, they can push us close to, or beyond, the limits of our endurance, taking us to our edge, in an intensely physical, spontaneous, non-negotiable exchange. Perhaps, through our interaction with them, we can come to understand much about he nature of wave energy, how to use it to propel us forwards, how to dance amid its awesome power, and how to avoid its potentially destructive force."
By Jaimal Yogis, Saltwater Buddha A Surfer's Quest to Find Zen on the Sea
Good read!
Tim Baker is an amazing writer and having been in the surf industry for years, he interviews the top performers in the lifestyle/sport. This is a must have for any serious surfer.
The book dedicates a chapter to a variety of different surfers. Some are very well known and others are surfers that made a difference in the the sport of surfing. I enjoyed reading about all of them. Inspiring describes the surfers and the passion they have for the ocean.
Really enjoyed this book. Great stories. Would recommend. Have become a fan of Tim Baker's books.
