New Stormrider Surf Guide to Europe
By popular demand, The Beast is back. In response to customer feedback and general confusion, The Stormrider Surf Guide Europe is back in one huge, mind-blowing book.

This book is thick enough to stop a shotgun blast at point blank range, so it’s RIP for the box-set as this is the 4th coming of the European surf bible.
