I read this book in basically one sweep before the surfing sessions and i really liked it. The book is very easy and fun to read. It has in principle everything a beginner like me must know before getting into the swell. There is some seemingly good material for advanced surfers too.

It's been said, and it's true. You cannot learn surfing from a book. You, however, learn about surfing from a book. This is the best of the many how to surf books I've read. I am a big fan of Wingnut anyway. He's a great freesurfer and an unabashed longboarder. Most books assume that the surfer's goal is to eventually to a shortboard, but this book really embraces the beauty and grace of the longboard. I feel like this book will help me to be a better longboarder.

The differences between a professionally written book like this one and an amateur self published one are evident. Well written, with a conversational tone, fun stories and informative photos, this book is highly recommended to any would be longboarder!
