The oceans are a treasure. There’s nothing quite like those magical waves that roll in from the horizon, filled with energy from far, far away. Like snowflakes, no two are the same, leading surfers and sea-lovers to create a special language to describe them, depending on shape, size, power and location.

That’s what this surf-themed ABC book is about. From “A-Frames” that look like the first letter alphabet, to famed breaks like J-Bay and Trestles, 26 waves are playfully depicted and described with a wink that will make surfy parents smile.
