    "It’s  a great resource that will become a valued source of reference for the surfing world, and I hope Surfersvillage continues to publish it every year forever"
    Craig Simms, Publisher, Australia's Surfing Life magazine

    Combining all the key ingredients into one sweet hard covered timeless piece, The Surfing Year Book is an awesome idea and is a great offering for surfers all around the world that want to keep a slice of the year that was.
    Bevan McKavanagh, International Market Manager Bic Sport International.

    "It combines all the key ingredients into one sweet hard covered timeless piece, The Surfing Year Book is awesome, I've always wanted a snap shot of the year in surfing to replace the 30 odd mags that build up every year. The Surfing Yearbook is pretty close to exactly what I've been looking for."
    Benjamin Salkeld, Editor, Mesurf, Australia.

    "We like the book, it is very thorough and impressive"
    Brodie Carr, CEO ASP International

    "Thank you for the book. Incredible the amount of content in the first annual Surfing Yearbook"  
    Kelly Gibson, President, CEO, Rip Curl USA

    “Surfing needs an annual print publication of record. The Surfing Yearbook fills that need in splendid and spectacular fashion. It is a book every surfer will want on his bookshelf. It is a beautiful book, reflects amazing dedication, and is the highest level of quality. This is certainto become a collectors item worth many times it’s original retail value.
