5.0 out of 5 stars
Good reading
Mr. Dixon indeed has a lot to share with those interested in the studying and practice of surfing. It brings significant information regarding bodysurfing and bodyboarding as well. I also recommend his "Men who ride mountains", which brings thrilling stories of some California/North Shore pioneers.

3.0 out of 5 stars
watery anecdotes do not make a complete guide
My main complaint about this book is it's misleading title. Dixon's anecdotal style of writing had me skimming the fluffy text for bits of information that were actually useful to me. There was information that I needed and my surfing did improve, but the information was sparce and buried in prosaic whitewater. Now, here I am at Amazon looking for another book to answer...

Dixon provides the necessary information on surfing with clear text and pictures. His style varies between anecdotal and concise. However, this book is far from comprehensive. The culture involved requires that this reference be supplemented with various other volumes with differing tacts. I recommend that the reader purchase this and several more prosaic works to get the complete view of the surfing world.
