On a Rising Swell
A high-speed glide through Florida surf culture and a deep dive into the lore of a classic surfing destination.Not far from where the Apollo 11 rocket launched to the moon, surfers make their way to the shore in the night. Clutching their surfboards, they chase a familiar dream: more speed, more altitude, and going beyond the limits of what has been done before. For that, they want to be the first ones to catch the early morning waves.In this book, Dan Reiter chronicles stories of the sport on Florida's Space Coast, a region that has produced some of the world's finest surf champions, Pipe masters, and surfboard builders. On this stretch of sand between Cape Canaveral and Sebastian Inlet, Florida's surf history reaches back to the native Ais people of the Atlantic Coast and continues to the elites of today, including Kelly Slater, Caroline Marks, and CJ Hobgood. Reiter offers insights into the evolution of surfboard shaping and design, the distinctive culture of the East Coast surfboard industry, and the traits and traditions that make Florida surfing unique.United by the background of Florida sun, soaring blue skies, and shifting sandbars, each one of this book's eclectic chapters tells its own story of passion and pursuit. Weaving together history, personal experiences, and interviews with the greats, Reiter redefines surf literature and invites readers to share in the thrill of a rising swell.
Pushing the River
Tales of ambition, terror, rivalry, adventure, endurance, friendship, and love on the waters of the Mississippi River and beyond.In this collection, award-winning writer Frank Bures tells true stories as varied as the waters, weather, and rhythms of a canoe trip. From the terror of two kayakers who barely escaped the 2011 Pagami Creek Fire in the Boundary Waters to two young campers who experienced a supernatural scare in Canada's Quetico Provincial Park in the 1970s to the author's own miraculous rescue, Bures shares varied takes on what happens when you push the river. The heart of the book is a telling of the lost history of the Paul Bunyan Canoe Derby, an annual 450-mile race run on the Upper Mississippi in the 1940s and 1950s that gave canoe-racing legend Gene Jensen his start--and which changed the course of modern canoeing. The tale includes the dominance of racers from the Leech Lake Indian Reservation, including many members of the Tibbets family, and the unacknowledged contributions of Ojibwe canoe builders Jim and Bernie Smith, whose design features are now part of the modern canoe-racing landscape. Pushing the River is an essential read for anyone who loves what legendary canoeist Bob O'Hara called "the sense of perpetual adventure" that comes in the seat of a canoe, where you never quite know what you will encounter around the river's next bend.

Pindito
Edi Frommenwiler had no ship-building experience before he and his wife Ella embarked on a personal quest to construct Pindito in 1992. For twelve years they single-handedly pioneered travel to what is now known to be the most important place on Earth for marine conservation - the heart of the Coral Triangle. Pindito continues this spirit of discovery. Twenty two times a year guests join expeditions and share in the chance to explore some famous and also, lesser known reefs and islands of eastern Indonesia.
How the Old Fella Done It
The classic Grand Banks Dory became the most-built wooden rowboat in history between the mid-1800s and early 1900s. It's classic form was ideal for codfishing on the Grand Banks, and each boatbuilding town evolved it's own methods and traditions. Today only one unbroken string of dory builders reminas--Milford Buchanan in Shelburne, Nova Scotis is still building the Shelburne Dory the way the Old Fellas taught him. This is his story.
50 Great Inland Cruising Routes in the Netherlands
This guide, which by this its sixth edition has already been hailed as one of the most thorough and up to date guides to inland waterways cruising in the Netherlands, provides detailed information on over 50 cruising routes in the country's 12 different provinces. Aimed at motor yachts cruising the 3,500kms of Dutch waterways that offer at least 4.0 metres air draft, the guide includes step-by-step navigation details for each route; bridge and lock opening procedures and times; descriptions of moorings and facilities; useful sources of information on every aspect of Netherlands cruising; a glossary of important Dutch terms, and tips offering unique insights into particular locations. It is the first book to provide this level of detail and to be written to supplement the national Nautical Maps (Waterkaarten) app and charts. It even corrects numerous errors to be found in this and other apps and published guides. This latest edition also includes a full index. The guide is written by Andy Mulholland and Machiel Lambooij, members of the Cruising Association's European Inland Waterways Section (EIWS), who have cruised virtually every waterway in the Netherlands over the past decade, and edited by fellow EIWS member Gordon Knight. It is updated annually via reports from CA members actively cruising the inland waterways (several hundred of which are submitted each year) and includes a 15 per cent discount offer on first year's CA membership to purchasers applying online during the year. Members can download the free digital edition of this guide (and of 24 further inland waterways guides) as well as the Cruising Association's proprietary CAptain's Mate app, which enables them to access the most up-to-date information on routes and mooring locations.
