The Essentials of Surfing is a textbook for surfing. You can't learn to surf by reading a book, but The Essentials of Surfing will give you the knowledge you need to be more confident about learning to surf, avoid conflicts with other surfers, and diminish your chances of becoming a productive member of society. The Essentials of Surfing has useful information for surfers of all levels, but it does not cover advanced topics, like pulling aerials, conquering big waves, or tube riding, nor does it teach other sports like bodysurfing, kitesurfing, or carsurfing. The Essentials of Surfing starts out by describing waves, the main resource of surfing. It then lists the many types of surfboards you will see in the water, explaining which ones work best for learning and how to care for your own board. You'll also get advice on what to wear in the water to protect you from sun, rashes, and the cold. Most importantly, The Essentials of Surfing lists the informal rules of surfing to help you get along with other surfers in the line up. Surfing is not as dangerous as driving to the beach, but The Essentials of Surfing outlines common hazards and how you can protect yourself from them. If this doesn't put you off, you can read a step-by-step lesson in surfing your first wave. The Essentials of Surfing then gives general advice on how to advance beyond the beginner level. A glossary at the end lists some technical jargon and slang specific to surfing. Read straight through to get the big picture. Then, use it as a reference as you learn. When you're done, teach a friend and give it to them. After reading The Essentials of Surfing, you will be more informed about the realities of surfing. Maybe you'll decide to take up surfing, or perhaps you'll realize it's not for you. If surfing is for you, you'll be able to converse with other surfers and know what to look in a surf shop. When you leave the shop and head to the beach, you'll be able to better understand the waves and what surfers are doing on them. This will help you learn faster and smarter.

Long lasting chew toy!
Flavor Name: REAL Bacon, Size: Large, Flavor Name: REAL Bacon, Size: Large
All I can say is wow! I have a Basset Hound mix who will be in the puppy stage for another year, and as we all know, that means dealing with teething issues. Seeing the photo of this product when it was new makes it obvious what he’s done to it. He’s still at it, chewing like mad. Made for medium to large dogs, he happily totes it around everywhere, and I’m always picking it up so I don’t trip over it. The inner cup can hold peanut butter as a special treat for your pet, and I give him some when he’s feeling a bit bored. It doesn’t last long, but he’ll keep chewing on it for a while afterward. For me, the value is worth the price if it keeps his teeth off my furniture—pet owners know exactly what I mean.

All 3 Dogs Want The Benebone Ring Now
Flavor Name: REAL Bacon, Size: Large
Rescued an Old English Sheepdog and after about 2 weeks, he started chewing things in the house. We knew he enjoyed chewing sticks in the backyard, but chewing things in the house was a no go. Purchased this Benebone Ring (bacon) hoping it would help to curb some of the issues we were having. I am happy to report that so far, after 3-4 weeks of him having the Benebone Ring, he has not chewed a single thing inside the house. He loves this ring and carries it in and out during the day so that he has it with him. The only problem we ran into was our other 2 dogs ALSO wanted the Benebone Ring. While they are not big chewers, suddenly this toy became the must have item in the house. So of course, we had to get more. Highly recommend this chew toy as it is not only durable, it appears to be highly desirable. Keep in mind however that this toy is heavy. So when your dog decides to drop it on your hardwood floors, you WILL hear it in every room in the house!!

My babies love their Benebones!
Flavor Name: REAL Bacon, Size: Large, Flavor Name: REAL Bacon, Size: Large
My one-year old pittie is 60lbs and has severe allergies to EVERYTHING, she's on medicated food and all the crazy things, and so I was trying to find something that wouldn't mess up her regimen by her ingesting it. This is PERFECT. She loves her medium sized Benebone! She carries it everywhere haha. I have three other big dogs, and got the largest one for my 110lb German Shepherd and she also loves it. I keep an eye on the edges and sand them down if I find anything sharp. These things are TOUGH. My pitbull can eat a massive bully stick in less than ten minutes, and she's barely made a dent in this thing! My GSD is a little more delicate and likes to savor and enjoy her toys, so hers isn't progressing as fast. She eats Yak Chews in around 30 minutes (and those things are like concrete!) I think these will easily last a month, possibly more, and for the price you can't beat it. The value is insane. I spend maybe 200$ a month on rawhide alternatives and bully sticks and yak chews for them, and these 14$ things last infinitely longer. BTW these things hurt like a mother trucker when you step on them, so keep an eye on where they are haha they're big and heavy!

Love these for super chewers
Flavor Name: REAL Bacon, Size: Large
I have two pit bulls and they destroy everything. These have held up very well for weeks. I use the cups for their morning yogurt and can even use hot water wand soap to wash them out. These are a great value for the money and the dogs love to carry them around in their mouths and even tug o war with them. Highly recommend.
