Stormrider surf guides - worth it?

Postby timKook » Fri Jun 14, 2019 11:02 am

Hey, I was just about to buy the Europe guide, but I noticed their break descriptions are available on MSW and their regional info is available here https://www.lowpressure.co.uk/surftravelplanner/ . Is there any more info in the book that's worth buying it? (more breaks, more detailed info?) I'm not a big fan of the paper format and they don't offer the comprehensive Europe guide as an ebook? Is it still worth buying? Thanks

I have and find it useful to get a first idea of an area if you plan a surf trip. But i use it only for that, means max once a year. I mainly use MSW & wannasurf.

Thanks for the replies! I mainly wanted it for a France-Spain-Portugal trip I'm planning this summer. But it look's like it won't be needed
