Product Description

The Ultimate Guide to Windsurfing is essential reading for all windsurfers, from the relative neophyte to the seasoned veteran. Combining breathtaking, full-color photography with authoritative content, it's as entertaining as it is informative.

World-renowned windsurfers Nik Baker and Daida Ruano Moreno offer practical hints and valuable advice on how to improve your skills. Beautiful photo-collages present the authors' unique techniques and methods, highlighting particular moves in an easy-to-follow step-by-step format.

The authors go on to cover important skills such as gibing, beach and water starts, chop hopping, jumping, and fundamental freestyle moves. Also included is practical advice on rigging and tuning, a glossary of windsurfing terms, and much more.

The Ultimate Guide to Windsurfing conveys the truly unusual culture and colorful personality of windsurfing in a fun, nontechnical style.

1.0 out of 5 stars Ego trip versus Instructional Guide, July 2, 2001
By A Customer
I was extremely dissappointed to find that this book was more about the authors, than about instructional tips on how to windsurf. As a beginner I was looking for some text to assist in the art of tacking/gybing etc. There are approx 2-3 pages that deal with tips and lessons, all others are just groovy pictures and unrelated comments made by the authors. My recommendation is stay clear of this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars No real tips, November 1, 2003
By A Customer
This books is a waste of time. Not too many tips. No instructional diagrams. Just pictures of ppl looking
very cool while windsurfing. Unhelpful for the beginner.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Piture Book, July 22, 2001
By A Customer
Save your money if you're looking for an instructional book. Far better instructions can be found on the web. All the instructions can fit on about an eighth on a page.

Save you money if you're looking for a picture book. Pictures are pretty bland, i.e., all the boards that one of the authors own.

Save your money!
