I had high hopes for this book after enjoying Casey's previous work, "The Devil's Teeth." However, she spends better than half the book hanging around with surfers, who undoubtedly have a unique perspective on big waves but make pretty dull interview subjects. I felt the science of big waves was given pretty short shrift. Still, the book has its good points and the photos are nothing short of spectacular.
