This review is from: Surfing Fundamentals: How to Ride a Modern Short Board (Paperback)
I think I expected more from this book really about learning tobsurf using a short board rather than a mini mal or long board. I'm learning on a 7ft high performance board ( shaped like short board). The book was written in 1983 which is a bit dated. Just a good book on basic surfer knowledge, some skills and history. Lacks in debth information to learn and needs way more illustration and pictures to aid learning process. I really rate this a 3, but could not change # of stars.
