Surfers challenge
Surfers love a challenge. From the big wave tow-in pros, to the aging veteran surfer struggling to manage their priorities and growing injuries, to the grommet pushing their limits on their local beachbreak. The Surfers Bible contains the greatest news of all. As well as the New Testament section of the Bible (the worlds best seller of all time for all times) we have added stories of surfers lives who have been touched by God. We also wanted to give a clear, surfer friendly description of just what this good news is all about.
Go on, take off on the ride of your life and read on…
There are some basic principles we all need to come to terms with:
PRINCIPLE ONE.
PRINCIPLE TWO.
PRINCIPLE THREE.
PRINCIPLE FOUR.
It is not enough to know about these principles, you need to act on them.
SO NOW WHAT? WHAT NEXT?

Surfers Bible explained
We at Christian Surfers in conjunction with Bible Society Australia have combined our passion for Jesus with our passion for surfing and provided a bible that looks like…a surfer.
The Surfers Bible is written in a contemporary English version (CEV) with new versions coming in Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese and French. It has a full color surfing cover and photos throughout. Also are testimonies from well known surfers from all backgrounds like short boarder world champ CJ Hobgood; bodyboard legends Kyle Maligro and Alistair Taylor; longboarders Skipp Frye and Brad Whittaker and shapers Eric Arakawa and John Carper among others. A surfer friendly introduction and conclusion walks you through God’s good news and how to know him.
Since its publication in 2002 some 40,000 copies have been distributed world wide.
