This book really helped to improve my surfing and boost my confidence in the water. The board guide certainly helped me to find the perfect board for my size and ability. It has stunning pictures that really make you want to go and surf the world! Worth the money and much more...every girl should have one.

The SurfGirl Handbook is a great theory tool; from both a personal and professional perspective.
Aesthetically it is gorgeous to look at, with bright, clear photos, lots of ripping surfer girls and a funky layout that keep you turning pages.
The content is what counts though, and I have been using this to improve my own surfing; breaking down advanced manoeuvres, reading up on confidence tricks, battling out at bigger breaks and even power-surfing smoothies!
As a freelance surf coach I have also been using it to assist with my Oakley Surf Sistas course, as it provides easily understood instructions and sound advice that my students seem to gobble up.
It also enables me to have a solid back up to any questions from students that might throw me off balance.
It literally IS the ultimate guide.
However, I'm yet to venture into chapter six; work it, but I promise to give it a go and get pumped for the fitness section soon!
Girls this is highly recommended by me, get it and get your shred on!

I was looking for tips and advice to improve my surfing and enjoy Surfgirl Magazine, so I've checked out Surfgirl's Handbook and have been impressed. It's covered everything I can think of that I or any of my friends would need to know about starting to surf, and has really good advice on training, eating healthily and what you need before you even hit the water.
The book looks great, lots of inspirational pictures to get you motivated to surf- whether it's in the UK or a surf trip abroad. I especially liked the `Escape' chapter that gives you the breakdown on where to travel to around the world, what to expect and what £20s will get you.
Beginner surfers would be very encouraged by the book, especially as it gives a comprehensive explanation of what you need, techniques for when you are in the surf, and most importantly- water safety. Whereas for the more intermediate or advanced surfer, there is a good amount of advice for how to progress, improve techniques and even for `what not to do' when going for bigger/better waves.
The book would make a really good gift, or would help give you a boost when you need some inspiration to surf on those grey cloudy/colder days (which can be any day in the UK of course).
