From surfer to model to movie star, Sanoe Lake can now add author to her list of accomplishments. Surfer Girl- A Guide to the Surfing Life is a fun guide for young girls who want to learn the basics before getting in the water. Sanoe covers topics from catching your first wave to dealing with boys in the water. She advises on getting in shape and finding functional surf wear. She shares her own surf stories, briefs us on the “herstory” of women’s surfing, and makes sure you know that while surfing is a really fun lifestyle, it also takes patience and focus to succeed. The book is full of color and loaded with photos, illustrations, charts, and cartoons that make for an easy read for ages 12 and up. There’s a glossary as well as a reference section that includes links to everything from surf schools to environmental groups. Surfer Girl is a great introductory book and is a fun addition for collectors of women’s surfing keepsakes.
