The Ultimate Guide to Windsurfing is essential reading for all windsurfers, from the relative neophyte to the seasoned veteran. Combining breathtaking, full-color photography with authoritative content, it's as entertaining as it is informative.
World-renowned windsurfers Nik Baker and Daida Ruano Moreno offer practical hints and valuable advice on how to improve your skills. Beautiful photo-collages present the authors' unique techniques and methods, highlighting particular moves in an easy-to-follow step-by-step format.
The authors go on to cover important skills such as gibing, beach and water starts, chop hopping, jumping, and fundamental freestyle moves. Also included is practical advice on rigging and tuning, a glossary of windsurfing terms, and much more.
The Ultimate Guide to Windsurfing conveys the truly unusual culture and colorful personality of windsurfing in a fun, nontechnical style.

Great book!,
By Russ Whittle (Perth, WA Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ultimate Guide to Windsurfing (Paperback)
At last a windsurfing book packed with modern images of the sport! Too many books are now out of date and don't show the real scene, this has put that right. There are some good tips and advice for modern techniques and it's a great book to sit down and flick through, amazing pictures, especially in the freestlyle chapter. A great snap shot of the sport.

A Piture Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Ultimate Guide to Windsurfing (Paperback)
Save your money if you're looking for an instructional book. Far better instructions can be found on the web. All the instructions can fit on about an eighth on a page.Save you money if you're looking for a picture book. Pictures are pretty bland, i.e., all the boards that one of the authors own. Save your money!
