1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money., 2 Aug 2005

By A Customer

Disapointing, so i'd save my money and buy something else to read. Not very informative and very little time is spent on surfing methods/techniques. Could have written something similar myself in a few hours!!

3.0 out of 5 stars gets you surfing, you want to be surfing, 21 Nov 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Surfer's Start-up: Beginner's Guide to Surfing (Start-Up Sports) (Paperback)

a very good book for someone new to surfing. It doesn't answer all the questions but it helps.
