Sinossi

"Thrilling Surf Waves" presents a comprehensive exploration of big-wave surfing, masterfully combining the raw power of nature with cutting-edge sports science. This multifaceted book reveals how massive waves reaching heights over fifty feet form through complex interactions of ocean physics, wind patterns, and underwater topography, while detailing the incredible human preparation required to ride them safely.Through extensive research including data from wave-monitoring buoys and interviews with professional surfers, the book illuminates how legendary locations like Nazaré and Jaws consistently produce these monster waves. The book's three-part structure progressively builds readers' understanding, beginning with the science of wave mechanics and forecasting, moving through the evolution of specialized equipment and safety gear, and culminating in detailed coverage of the physical and mental conditioning required for big-wave surfing.What sets this work apart is its successful integration of multiple scientific disciplines, from fluid dynamics to sports psychology, making complex concepts accessible to both experienced surfers and curious observers. Drawing from peer-reviewed studies and real-world expertise, the text balances technical information with practical application, offering actionable insights for wave forecasting, equipment selection, and training programs. While maintaining its focus on waves over twenty feet, the book serves as an authoritative resource that bridges the gap between scientific understanding and athletic achievement in one of nature's most challenging environments.

    THE NIGHTCLUB BOSS WHO TURNED TO FINDING FOOTBALL’S FUTURE STARS 
     
    Football attracts people from all walks of life - but very few can match the story of Paul Montgomery, the flamboyant Geordie who went from running a floating 
    nightclub to spotting some of the greatest British footballing talent of the last 40 years. 
     
     
    Montgomery started out rubbing shoulders with 1970’s and 1980’s A-list celebrities such as Wham, Level 42, Bryan Ferry and Wet Wet Wet at the famous (some would say infamous) Tuxedo Junction nightclub and the Boat, Newcastle’s floating nightclub, before opening his own club and at the same time becoming a trusted 
    lieutenant of footballing icon Sir Bobby Robson. 
     
     
    Indeed, it was Sir Bobby himself - one of the game’s most beloved legends - who labelled Montgomery ‘my rough diamond’, because the Newcastle manager, alongside other footballing masterminds such as Jim Smith, Alex McLeish, Glenn Roeder, Sam Allardyce and Sir Alex Ferguson could trust Montgomery to deliver in a 
    way no other scout could. 
     
     
    Predicting - and picking - the best young talent available is very often an ephemeral and some would say impossible job but Montgomery simply had a knack for 
    knowing who would make it - and who would flounder. 
     
     
    In his remarkable, hilarious and deeply impassioned autobiography, he lifts the lid on his incredible career change, the highs and lows of his footballing journey to the top of the sport and how he still loves the game that has given him so much. 
     
     
    Montgomery has run the rule over thousands of players in a career that has taken him from Hartlepool to Newcastle United, to Portsmouth, Derby County, West Ham United, Birmingham City, Aston Villa and Rangers and he’s still in the game today, advising Premier League clubs on who will make it big next. 
     
     
    Put simply, there is no one else in football quite like Paul Montgomery - and his audiobook describes that world in all its fascinating detail, both good and bad, thrilling and tragic.

    Learn everything about preparing for disasters 
    When disasters happen, are you the type that can survive them? 
    Look around your home – could you survive thirty days on the water, medical supplies, and fuel you already have? 
    Do you have the necessary supplies to keep you and your family safe if you are forced to hunker down in your home for a month without leaving? 
    Being a good prepper means being prepared to survive any scenario, from keeping your family going when you've lost your job, keeping them safe when law and order have ceased to exist, and looters are breaking in to steal whatever they can find, and also surviving off the grid if you're forced to leave your home behind. 
    They lack the foresight to stockpile enough food and water to survive. They lack the equipment needed to preserve food and water. They lack the methods to protect their families and defend their homes. They lack the skills necessary out in the wild. 
    In this book, you will: 
    Understanding how finances can help you 
    Learn about what prepping is truly all about 
    Learn how to get started in prepping 
    Learn how to can food 
    Understand how much water you need to stockpile 
    Understand what a bug bag is 
    Learn how to live off the grid 
    Learn how to cook food without electricity 
    Learn how to defend your home in good times and in bad times 
    This book is the ideal starting point in teaching you the mindset and lessons required to be a great prepper. You may not be able to escape the disasters you will inevitably face, but the lessons in these pages will aid you in avoiding mistakes and giving you the best chance of survival.

    Synopsis: This book was written to tell a story about perseverance and overcoming your fears. I had lost my dad to leukaemia, I went through a nasty divorce, and in my free time, I began to drink too much. I knew my life was not going in the direction I needed it to go. I challenged myself to attempt something I've never done, a triathlon and learned to overcome my fear of open water swimming. 
    
     
    Autobiography: I'm from Portland, Oregon and was a gymnast for over 20 years. I had a gymnastics scholarship to the University of Iowa and, upon graduation, toured with the Bud Light Daredevils (trampoline slam dunk team) for 5 years. I completed my first triathlon in 2012 and my first Ironman in 2018. I have boy/girl twins who are 22, and I'm currently retired from the IT industry after 27 years.
