50 years of perfect surf, international business, wild characters and the search for the ultimate ride The Rip Curl Story is the remarkable tale of two young surfers - Doug 'Claw' Warbrick and Brian Singer - who pursued an audacious dream to make a living in pursuit of the ultimate ride. The brand they built, Rip Curl, not only satisfied their own surf wanderlust, but also inspired countless others, riding the wave of the global youth revolution of the late '60s. Rip Curl's mantra became 'the Search'- the pursuit of new waves on distant shores, new thrills - skiing, snowboarding, windsurfing - and better equipment to elevate the experience. Along the way they supported the careers of many of the world's great surfers - from Midget Farrelly to Michael Peterson, Tom Curren to Damien Hardman, Pam Burridge to Stephanie Gilmore, and of course Tyler Wright and Mick Fanning. Bestselling surf writer Tim Baker tells this implausible story in an irresistible series of ripping yarns, offering rich life lessons, a maverick business primer and a wild ride of adventure, good times and outlandish ambitions spectacularly realised. The Rip Curl Story will make you want to surf more, travel further, follow through on that great business idea and pursue your own Search.

Before you turn this book over and begin thumbing through the pages, you need to know something. This is not one of those books that tells you your life is going to be perfect. This isn’t a book that will make you feel like Joe or Jane Superchristian. And the great thing about that is you’re in good company. There are no perfect Christians―we all struggle. If you’re honest with yourself, you will probably admit that even as you try to follow Jesus, you mess up a lot. You may even feel like there isn’t a lot of room for questions and failures in the Christian faith. But the truth is those questions and failures is part of learning to follow Jesus. It’s time to think outside the box and see that real faith doesn’t mean trying to fit into a particular mold―real faith means being real with God. Jesus is for Liars doesn’t shy away from any of the tough subjects―it asks the hard, honest questions that will let you explore who you are and who God is so you can see that true faith isn’t about pretending to be perfect, it’s about following Jesus just as you are.

Most team problems can be traced back to a simple misunderstanding, communication breakdown, or relationship malfunction. It's the people-dimension-not the task-dimension-that continually challenges team leaders. Winning Teams: The Eight Characteristics of High Performing Teams offers leaders practical and easy-to-implement tools to profile and build a robust team identity. A brand-new team identity model sets this book apart from its competition.\nThe Team Identity Model consists of the eight research-based characteristics that separates high-performing from low-performing teams. The focus of the model is the often-neglected people-dimension of teamwork. The secret of a winning team is found in how its members relate and interact with one another and the frequency of their collaboration.\nThis book is targeted at team leaders-typically promoted on their technical competence-who often struggle with the people-dimension. Further, business rewards task success-whether it's more sales, better widgets, or superior service delivery. But it's people that lead to task achievement ... or failure-not the systems they use, or the know how they possess.
