To discover this beautiful book, Born to surf, we expect to see beautiful images of women, each one more beautiful than the other, with sculpted silhouettes and golden tans. But surprise, it is not this appointment that its author Carolina Amell offers us. She travelled around the world to meet women who have made surfing a way to express and enhance their lives. Often to help the women's cause in poor countries, but also to find their way out of a consumerist lifestyle.
Often these women are also photographers and illustrate the book with their most beautiful images. But it is the texts, the portrait of each of these 36 women that is most compelling. We discover the actions, the objectives and the will that it takes to get off the beaten track and live a dream.
If the setting remains nature and surfing, it is above all a message of hope that can be read through his pages and these portraits. A book to be recommended to all readers who are looking for a goal or a way to accomplish their life. The details to achieve it are not written there, but the pleasure and happiness are very communicative. A book to offer and especially not only to women surfers..
