20 Hawai'i locales featured in '100 Best Surf Spots in the World'

photojournalist Rod Sumpter decided to write "100 Best Surf Spots In the World" (InsidersGuide/Globe Pequot, trade paper, $19.95), a surfers' travel guide. On that perfect wave that perfect day, he realized there is no such thing as the perfect surf spot: Memorable rides depend on a myriad of factors. The book includes color photos of each location (including 20 in Hawai'i), quotes, charts displaying average swell, climatic data and a "commitment rating" a measure of the expertise and sheer guts required to tackle the surf spots.
