Book Reviews of Surfing: The Manual: Advanced
Book Review: Great book to improve your surfing-intermediates & up
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been surfing consistently for over 20 years.I got this book because I felt my surfing, though good enough, has stagnated somewhat and I needed some inspiration. What a well put-together book! The title says advanced but I recommend it from intermediate surfers up. If you can stand and do a few turns this book will start you off with a solid base for bottom turns, off the tops etc. Even after so long surfing I found some flaws in my own techniques regarding these fundamental manoeuvers. If you are refining your tube riding or starting to pop airs etc there's some good tips and there are other sections on fitness, big waves, equipment, tow surfing and so on. It's stacked with beautiful pictures of waves being ripped by top surfers to illustrate technical points but this would lead to my only criticism. The pictures make it a nice coffee table book but slightly heavy (though still possible)to travel with. Would be nice if it included a paperback text only manual of techniques to take on the road. Other than that, excellent.
