Customer Reviews

perfect surfing starter book... - Rated 5/5
this book will teach you how to surf...
in easy stages...no fuss...just perfect advice...

after having read it twice...
and two 6 hour days in the water...
i'm well on my way to being a surfer...

i have met people on the beach who have had lessons...
and some with up to two years messing around with surfing...
and because of this book i was better informed...
and was able to give those surfers pointers...

great safety tips...well written and easy to understand...
this book is a must for anyone who wants to capture THAT moment ... ;)


Before entering the water, read it, often - Rated 5/5
Sit down and read it on a fine day overlooking the sea and the surf and you'll go back in the water understanding so much more - It really is that good, even for such a small volume. After reading three other books on how to learn, this is the one that is making sense of all the others. That, and Wingnut's Art of Longboarding DVD if you can find it.

The section on reading the water surface to identify rip currents I haven't seen described anywhere else... plenty of books explain the dangers of rips, but not how to find spot them on the water surface

By all means buy some other step-by-step photo books, but get this one too


A good book for surfers and beginners - Rated 4/5
Despite of language difficulties, this book give me some tips about surfing sport. I'm a surfer for only two years and I feel that my expertise have been improved more rapidly since I wrote the book. I'm graduated in Oceanography and think that the author have a correct approach about technical aspects of coastal dynamics and safe behavior on beach and sea waters, probably acquired on a wide experience (surfing a lot). Good choice for all water fans.


It is the best. - Rated 5/5
It gives you all the information you need, even how to get along with your fellow surfers.


A must for a beginning surfer, more of a survival guide. - Rated 4/5
This is a great book to learn in depth about surfing, I have been surfing since I was 6 and I wish that I had a book to teach me all of the things that I learned the hard way. This book is a survival guide, It teaches you about waves, form and how to identify rip tides and other things that can end your day of surfing and your life. If you are considering learning to to surf, you can't afford not to read this book.
