作者简介

　　As a child English born Stuart Butler received his first
travel inspirations from weekly visits to his local zoo and the
constant re-reading of the late, great Gerald Durrell's books about
his animal collecting exploits in Corfu and beyond. A few years
later Stuart put the lizard hunting onto a back burner and took up
surfing. A short and not very successful professional surfing
career quickly evolved into the far more enjoyable task of surf
exploration along some of the worlds most remote coastlines. The
results of these trips, which have seen him riding waves in places
as diverse as the Arctic tundra in winter, the burning coastal
deserts of Pakistan and Yemen in high summer, the rain soaked
jungle beaches of Colombia and the shark infested reefs of eastern
Africa, have appeared widely in the international surf and travel
media. His stories and photos from these trips have gained Stuart a
well-founded reputation for stumbling blindly into minefields,
getting his travel companions thrown into Third-World military
prisons and becoming tangled up in all sorts of magical duals with
passing sorcerers and ghosts. His first guidebook work was all
surfing based and included writing for the legendry Stormrider
Guides as well as compiling his own Oceansurf Guidebooks to
Portugal and Spain. Since joining Lonely Planet Stuart has worked
on guides to South Asia and the Middle East and for other
publishers he has written about Africa.Stuart now lives beside the
beautiful beaches of southwest France where the lack of a decent
zoo is compensated for by the lizards and terrapins living in his
garden. Photographs and stories from his trips can be seen on his
website www.oceansurfpublications.co.uk
