Reflecting on the creation of a lifestyle, Surfing on the Inside is a series of stories that will take you on a wild ride to tropical paradises like Hawaii and Indonesia, reveal the true history behind one of the worlds premier big wave spots, discuss the merits of birds at the beach, beach nomenclature, environmental awareness, delve into surfing different dimensions and much more.
