Everything you need to know about surf, sand and rips

Australia s best known surf scientist, Rob Dr Rip Brander

answers all of these questions and more as we discover

and the human impacts on our beaches and how they will

respond to storms and climate change. Dr Rip s Essential

use the beach, from keeping your family safe in the surf

to what to do in the (extremely unlikely) event you find

yourself swimming with a shark.

this guide to the beach is a must-read for all ocean lovers.
