Surfing

This book provides an insight into the fascinating sport of surfing. Divided into three parts, the book accompanies those hungry for waves along the way to become a genuine surfer. A short summary of the history of riding waves is followed by a beginner's guide, which looks at equipment, preparation and techniques for taking the first steps. The second part of the book is aimed at the more advanced surfer looking for advice on how to improve his surling. The book is rounded off by a part giving important information concerning the weather, a section concerning travel, with useful advice and "surf lingo" and general information about the surfing spots in Europe, the USA, Hawaii, Australia, The South Pacific, Indonesia and Mexico. --- from book's bakc cover
