The Book is ready...

For those waiting for the release of...'Don't Jump off the Pier', researched and written by Saltburn surfer Simon Palmer - It is now done.


Published by Quetzal Books www.quetzalbooks.com and also available from local shops and from Saltburn Surf Shop the book documents the history and the introduction of surfing to the East Yorkshire coast either side of Saltburn by the Sea and mentions those people who brought the 'Sport of Kings' to us.

Filled with anecdotes and commentary the book will interest all those who surf in the chilly waters of the North East coast and indeed all those surfers wherever they may be who appreciate that, despite all the technology that now goes into surf boards and wetsuits, it had far more humble and basic roots in the early days.

I'm proud to say I was able to support Simon with his endeavour by providing many of the photographs within the book, I hope they do it justice.

Read it during the flat spells to keep your stoke fuelled!
Enjoy, and cheers for your effort Simon - looking forward to the next edition!
