Book Reviews of Learn to Surf for Beginners

Book Review: Safety-oriented, detailed breakdown on key aspects to the beginner
Summary: 4 Stars

Having read volume 2 first (Learn to Surf Intermediate Level) made me think of the Academy of Surfing Instructors as a reliable educational institution, so I knew Learn to Surf for Beginners would probably turn out to be nothing but good quality reading for the learning on the sport. In fact, it did fulfill my expectation, even though in the present physical education universe i have some questioning regarding state of art pedagogical progression approach on the teaching of surfing.
