An introductory guide to surfing, bodyboarding, and bodysurfing. Surfing is an exhilarating sport, but it's difficult and dangerous to learn unless you're well-informed, prepared, and respectful of the ocean's powers.
"Learn to Surf" is a rambunctious introductory guide to the sport that teaches the fundamentals of surfing with detailed, step-by-step instructions for the complete beginner.
Covering three types of surfing - traditional surfing, bodyboarding, and bodysurfing - James MacLaren provides vital information on equipment, techniques, wave and wind dynamics, and safety.
Also included is a chapter on surfing etiquette and even a glossary of surfing lingo - everything required to get you out in the water and up on a surfboard and back to the beach in one piece.
