What They're Saying
Critics Review
“…a stunningly gorgeous collection…”- Los Angeles Times“Someone has finally delivered a worthy homage to the role of women in surfing. Surf Like a Girl is a marvelous piece of work…What really impresses in this hardcover masterpiece is the perfect balance between each word poured into the pages, and the quality and grandiosity of the giant photos…It’s fair to say that this 256-page book is probably the best title ever published exclusively dedicated to women’s surfing. Get it and enjoy.” –Surfer Today“gorgeously photographed…Admirers of surfing and underwater life will certainly find much to appreciate.”–Publishers Weekly“As for who’s riding those waves, increasingly, it’s women: among under-19s, there are more girls than boys surfing now, while the number of female surfers aged 65+ has soared 45 per cent since 2010. This growing global “surf sisterhood”—including a Moroccan Muslim surf coach and Sri Lanka’s first female longboarder—is profiled in a new coffee table tome by Carolina Amell called Surf Like a Girl, published by Prestel.” —Atlas
