Product Description
Product Description
Surfing is one of the fastest growing sports in America. In this book, coach Raul Guisado presents a complete course for beginners and for more experienced surfers ways to improve their technique or expand their repertoire. It covers boards and other equipment, the anatomy of waves, body position and stance, and techniques for everything from paddling to "walking the nose." Special chapters on competition and training round out this comprehensive introduction to the sport. "Surfing has evolved from a relatively obscure past time to one of the fastest growing sports in the world. Today, there are millions of surfers across the globe. The Art of Surfing is the first of its kind to avail participants, both beginner and advanced, with the same training and coaching principles of the more established and traditional sports. This book will empower both recreational and competitive surfers to prepare for and catch the best waves."
