I have only had a quick look through the book, but this is the best beginners surf book that I have seen. Great pictures and explains a few things that other beginners books don't, such as how the line up works and good practical advice on where to paddle out and how to observe the swell. Very readable and covers all aspects of surfing in moderate detail.
It looks pretty good for intermediate surfers too, with onfo on how to perform the various different turns.
I havent looked at the dvd yet, but even without the dvd I would consider this book excellent value for money, and if the quality of the dvd matches that of the book then I will be very happy.
I liked it so much that I am, about to order a second copy for a friend.

Returned item, condition not acceptable

Our book arrived with the DVD cracked in half. We returned the item as the video instruction on the DVD was the main reason we selected this over another title on this topic.
Great combo!

This book/DVD combo is great. I have taken 2 surf lessons before I bought this and I thought it did a great job at concisely explaining everything and giving a bit of instruction. It helped me prepare for my latest surf lesson in Hawaii. Definitely read and watch this before you get a surf lesson so you understand the techniques and science behind surfing so you can get more out of your lesson with an instructor. If your looking to replace and instructor, don't because you will get so frustrated and end up disliking the sport. The book has great pictures and is in color. Great buy, can't go wrong with it. Just keep in mind that its not a rulebook and their methods may not work for you (this is why using an instructor will help).
Awesome Book
17 April 2008
I never surfed in my life. But by following the dvd and book, I was able to surf a small, tiny little wave without wiping out in just a couple of days. It won't make you a Laird Hamilton or Kelly Slater, but gotta start somewhere!
