PRAISE FOR "HIGH SURF"
I have been really touched by the response to "High Surf." Here are a few examples:
General

“Thanks again for High Surf! Great book mate, my favourite surf book I have ever read.“
Dave Rastovich
“It took me the whole of 72 hours to read. I couldn't put the book down. I just wanted to say that i never thought a book could make me feel so happy, sad, relieved, comfortable, inspired, jealous and wanting more all at the same time. The stories are unbelievable. The truth of surfing has most certainly been captured in the words of many greats, but you have perfectly structured and created this text.”
Mick Sullivan
“I just wanted to write a short note of gushing praise for your new book. I have found it a truly inspirational read. It will be filling the christmas stockings of many a friend. “
Toby Eggleston
“Just want to thank you for including me in such a high order 'spiritual' surfing publication. I keep picking it up when i am supposed to be working. Pics like the little girl with the prosthetic leg and surf stoke, Jesse K and Tim Winton's rave are really moving.”
Ian Cohen
“I just wanted to let you know how wonderful i thought your book 'high surf' was. I wandered into the book store two days ago and came across your book unexpectedly and have been totally absorbed by it over the past 48 hours (stopping only for grand finals and BBQ's!!) It is truly a beautiful book, full of wonderful messages. It takes a lot for me to read a book quickly let alone finish one and your book is the first one in a long time that has truly accomplished that. It is also the first time in my reading career that i have tingles throughout my body from reading something. Reading it has been like experienceing one of those peak moments- Thank you. Ill be recommending it to all my mates and will make for great chrissy presents!”
Bryce Johnson
"The book has arrived, and I'm delighted to see preference utilitarianism applied to surfing. Yes, you got it - and me, more generally - right. In fact you managed to make a really nice piece of it, by putting together the modest remarks I made, with the reading that you did. And of course, I'm chuffed to be in there together with Kelly Slater, Mick Fanning and the rest of the gang. :) “Many thanks, and I hope the book is a big success.”
Peter Singer
"High surf by Tim Baker is just superb. If I didn't surf I'd want to after reading this. Profoundly spiritual and remarkably deep. I really want to share this book with friends."
