Book Reviews of Essential Guide: Windsurfing (Essential Guides)
Book Review: Great windsurfing manual
Summary: 5 Stars
Great windsurfing manual for beginners and intermediates.
Windsurfing fundamentals (up-hauling, self-rescue, correct stance, non-planning tack and jibe, steering ...) are explained very well with lots of text, pictures and photos. Solutions for common problems and useful tips accompany each subject.
Advanced techniques (planning, harness use, beach starting, straps, water starting, planning jibe) are explained as well but in less detail and with more photos than text.
If you want a comprehensive manual for long and short board base skills - this book is an excellent choice. More advanced subjects such as freestyle tricks, fine equipment tuning, jibing tips are not discussed.
Summary of Essential Guide: Windsurfing (Essential Guides)
Beginners will be able to get on their board with a minimum of delay and intermediate windsurfers will be able to advance their techniques and improve on their weaknesses. The emphasis is on easy-to-follow instructions accompanied by clear illustrations. Safety issues and how to read the weather are addressed.Sailing Books
