This is a solid all around book for surfing. Wish I would have read this when I was starting.
But even now, I picked up a few things. Although the book gets really advanced really quickly, like 50% of the book is material that mortals with day jobs will never reach. Doing the simplest of roundhouse cutbacks on a wave or timing the closeout on the lip to take an aerial would be amazing. I see a possibility of me getting to that level in a few more years of progressing, but some of the stuff in this book is absurdly advanced haha.
