Book Reviews of The Art of Surfing: A Training Manual for the Developing and Competitive Surfer

Book Review: enjoying in putting to use in cold maine waters.....
Summary: 5 Stars

some of the review are too critical. The author does a great job of breaking down surfing etiquite as well as providing beginning, intermediate and advanced tips that can be used for all surfers. I have checked out other books and while they are good I find this book to be a great reference for those of us who try to surf as often as we can. the conditioning tips are very progressive and opened new facets of training for myself and some friends.
