4.0 out of 5 stars A good inrto to the art of Surfing, September 29, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Adventure Sports: Surfing (Paperback)
The book gives a detailed intro to the art of surfing. It takes the reader on a step by step guide to the basic surfing moves, and then moves on to more challenging manouvers. It details what type of boards beginners should ride (You still see first timers out on short boards getting nowhere) It also has a travel section and a world map displaying surfing regions. A must for anyone starting to surf.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good instruction for learner, January 27, 2000
By 
This review is from: Adventure Sports: Surfing (Paperback)
I read this book after I had been surfing only three months and I wish I would have read it sooner. It has etiquette, how to, and technical tricks to take your surfing to the next level. The next best thing to practice.
