Format:Paperback
What a great book! I am a total beginner and this book has really helped me to get started... it explains everything in an easy to read and understand format. It helped me not to feel like such a novice when I had my first lesson. I love the illustrations, really funky girlie drawings. Every time I dip into this book I find it hard to put down, I just love it... It makes you want to hop in the car and head for the beach! I can't rate this book highly enough if you are just getting started then this is for you, you won't be dissapointed.

Great book, answered all the questions I felt silly ask, has plenty of tips and explains the language of surfing! It is well written and has great artwork and design, it's a completely enjoyable read and I am sure it's lessons will help me out on the waves.

I can say tat I'm a pretty good surfer not amazing but i know what i'm on about.
And I think this book is a little gem. I bought it for a mate because he knows nothing about surfing and I read it before I gave it to him and its very impressive.
Everything is laid out well and explained simply but it isn't patronizing.
Some of it maybe common sense but trust me wen i say most people won't know it.
My only nag but its only a very little one, is that it could explain how breaks and swell works in more detail.
As most surfers know you learn it along the way but if ppl went by the book they would be walking to a flat beach.
Oh and the title needs work cos my mate is a bloke and wasn't too impressed by it :P

Get to know your 'break types' and out to the 'line up'
While in Tate St Ives (overlooking the beach of boogie- and long-boarders), I saw this book and often wondered what 'point break' actually meant. Read more
