The Pilgrimage: 50 Places to Surf Before You Die

By, Sean Doherty

If you’re looking for inspiration to grab the board and hit some of the world’s hottest beaches, check out The Pilgrimage: 50 Places to Surf before you Die.

Put together by Sean Doherty, the longest-serving editor of Australia's surfers bible Tracks, The Pilgrimage covers more than two dozen countries. From 8 foot tubes at Tahiti’s killer Teahupoo and reef-breaks in Bali, this book has everything you need to plan your next surfing adventure!

Doherty has drawn on his own passion and experience, as well as that of seven leading Tracks writers, to create the hottest first-hand guide to surfing the world.

The waves covered in this book are some of the world’s most famous breaks; they have become myth and folklore to surfers. Doherty and his team dispel the myths and show the waves for what they really are; “a surging mass of sand and water that can be flat one week and amping the next.”

These boys know what it feels like to drive over the headland to one of the spots and find it doesn’t live up to the glossy magazine hype, so they give you the real deal on how these breaks actually shape up. But their message is clear; “if you really want to know what they feel like, get on a board and ride them yourself!”

Doherty’s mission in The Pilgrimage is to inspire as many true surfers as possible to take up the challenge to chase waves all over the world. We at ExplorerGirls think after you’ve flicked through these mouth-watering pages of full-colour photographs of the best breaks in the world, you will be more than a little tempted!
