5.0 out of 5 stars excellent book for beginners and experts alike, March 11, 1998

By A Customer

This is the classic instructional book for windsurfing. Its excellent (and humorous) cartoons and text desribe both the correct and incorrect versions (just as useful) of the basic maneuvers. The discussions are well suited and motivating for someone new to the sport. As an experienced windsurfer I still refer to the book when teaching. It also contains more advanced skills (harness use, fancier jibes ... etc). Due to its age the equipment discussion is a little dated but still useful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the beginning windsurfer, August 23, 2002

By	Elizabeth Leonard (Sunnyvale, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was sad to see this book was out of print. It was given to me when I was just learning to windsurf as a teen, and I read it cover to cover back then. The humorous yet informative illustrations provide a good review of the basic windsurfing principles.
