Not While the Surf's Up Press

WELCOME

Not While the Surf's Up Press is a technical writers collective. Our philosophy on learning is that even the smallest wave has the whole ocean's power behind it. To catch the biggest waves you must accept the challenge and have faith in yourself. You must study hard and come to understand the ocean; you must struggle to learn how to relax into the wave, and harness its energy. Knowledge and self-mastery bring great power, making surfing the most exhilarating experience known to humankind. Learning to surf is like learning technology. Accept the challenge, harness the power, and catch the wave - be exhilarated, excel, overcome! Let our books help you to catch the technology wave.
