— The Field Guide

Surf Intel Field Guide The Watch's Foundational Textbook

Physician-built. Citation-grounded. Designed for offline field use. Ships July or August 2026.

— What's Inside

The protocols you wish you had the last time it went wrong.

A working reference for the injuries that show up at remote breaks. Marine envenomation. Reef wound care. Concussion and head injury in surf. Breath-hold physiology. Dislocations far from help. The eye and ear that develop over years.

Built for the field, not the desk. Each protocol is short, scenario-led, and citation-grounded. Designed to print, three-hole-punch, and carry. PDF on the phone for everyone else.

The full table of contents ships with the book.

The physician carves a wave with a forested cliff close on the left and dramatic spray on the right. The remote break setting the Field Guide is built for.
— The Frame
