Any surfer worth his or her weight in board wax wouldn't think twice about trading in the house deposit or the plasma TV - or postponing parenthood - for a chance to ride the world's best waves.
Sean Doherty, the longest-serve editor of surfing bible, Tracks, certainly thinks it's a fair trade.
From Hawaii's famous Pipeline on Oahu's North Shore to the relatively new-born Superbank on the Gold Coast of Queensland, via more than two dozen countries, Doherty has pulled together the ultimate surfing wish list:
The Pilgrimage: 50 Places to Surf Before You Die with the help of seven leading surf writers from Tracks magazine.
Surfing is an obsession, and many a surfer has thrown away life-as-he-once-knew-it for a single wave.
In The Pilgrimage some of the world's top surf writers pay tribute to 50 of the world's best waves – the breaks which have become so much part of surfing folklore that they've developed a life force of their own.
This book is sure to become a classic.
The text creates a great sense of place, and there's practical information on getting to (nearly) every break, the best time to go, what to take, where to stay, and what to look out for.
The Pilgrimage is the perfect gift for anyone who has ever caught, or tried to catch, a wave, from grommets to geriatrics.
Simple the best gift to give a teenager who surfs. It gives him a lifetime to fulfill his passion.
