Above all, having already researched our unique Europe and World Guides once, we never expected this revised edition to be quite such a mammoth task! Yet the rapid development of our sports over the past decade has had a dramatic impact on so many beaches – and as we revisited those we already knew, more and more new spots emerged too. It was soon obvious that a simple update really wasn’t an option... Nearly three years later, the number of spots had grown by almost 50 percent to 2,500: all with bang-up-to-date information and completely new spot maps. Plus we raided the archives of the best surf photographers on the continent again. From an incredible 38,000 photos we selected the best 1,200, taking the picture quality to a whole new level. In the end, all that effort made the result even sweeter. The Europe Guide is the ultimate travel companion: take it anywhere on the continent and you'll always find the right spot for your session."
