Book Reviews of Longboarder's Start-Up: A Guide to Longboard Surfing (Start-Up Sports series)

Book Review: Fine for new surfer, new longboarder.
Summary: 4 Stars

I am new to surfing and to longboarding. This presented me with terms, basics, and plenty of which I needed and wanted to know to go try out my board. I can see where some who have other experience may not be completely forfilled with this. I am pleased with it.

Summary of Longboarder's Start-Up: A Guide to Longboard Surfing (Start-Up Sports series)

Design innovations and a new appreciation for the grace and poise of surfing a longer board has lifted the art of longboarding back into the limelight and more importantly, back into the minds of serious surfers who are looking to expand their wave riding experience. The first-half of this guide covers the basics of longboard equipment, wave selection, courtesy, and surfing technique through standing up. The second part gets into intermediate and advanced longboarding skills including: cross-stepping, trimming, turning, turning maneuvers, essential noseriding, and finally, some of the breathtaking tricks that the pros execute so flawlessly. The key points are brought home with a stripped down text and photos featuring some of the best longboard surfers on earth, including Ted Robinson, Colin McPhillips, Jeff Kramer and Mark Stewart.
