This review is from: Fit to Surf: The Surfer's Guide to Strength and Conditioning (Paperback)
Since I don't get to surf everyday, this book is exactly what I needed to stay in surfing shape. I have a number of other fitness related books, but none address surfing fitness. This book gave me exactly what I've been looking for. I've since given it to a number of friends and they have all told me how helpful they have found it as well.

This review is from: Fit to Surf: The Surfer's Guide to Strength and Conditioning (Paperback)
This book just kicked butt for me. It got me to acheive a new level of fitness, cranked up endurance, and improved my all around well being, weather I'm surfing, working, or sitting on my butt watching football. Rocky has presented the material in a straightforward, easy to understand, follow, and execute style which really gets you motivated. An all around excellent fitness book for not only surfers, but for any outdoor enthusiast. Buy it, you won't be sorry.

THIS BOOK HELPED ME SO MUCH!,

This review is from: Fit to Surf: The Surfer's Guide to Strength and Conditioning (Paperback)
My daughter bought me this book before a surf trip to Mexico. I had never surfed before and am not a "spring chicken". After doing the exercises in Rocky's book I was more fit than I've ever been and at age 50 learned to surf. I can't say enough good things about this book.What are you waiting for?.... BUY IT!
