Amusing surfer's reading

I read this book in one breadth -- it's not the deepest book you will find on surfing but it is very pleasant to read. It goes over all majjor techniques and discusses a bunch of different wave situations. At the end of the book, there's a small chapter dedicated to exotic styles of surfing which is really hip. There's detailed descriptions of styles like Rendell Jump Jones and Mauaian Dancing. They are pretty advanced and the book doesn't go into too much detail, but you can deffinitely get the gist of it and start exercising.The best about the book is that it has a number of pointers to other sources, which are really good. The bibliogrpahy lists a bunch of the classics of wurfing and where they could be found. I would definitely recommend this book for a casual and informative read.

Its the best yo

it was the best book of surfing Ihave ever read. I live in Colorado and I'm going to Kauai in a couple of days and now I am so stoked to go

IF YOU ARE ON YOUR WAY TO HAWAII, CONSIDER THIS ESSENTIAL!

FEW REALIZE THAT GREG IS A STAFF WRITER @HNA (HAWAII NEWSPAPER AGENCY). THE MAN KNOWS HOW TO WRITE AND HAS A DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT AND WHERE THINGS ARE HAPPENING. THE BOOK IS A VIRTUAL ROAD MAP OF OUR SURF SPOTS IN THE ISLANDS. IF A SURF TRIP TO HAWAII IS IN THE CARDS, BE SURE TO PICK IT UP. I ASSURE YOU THAT YOU WILL HAVE NO REGRETS.
