 | Learn to Surf by James MacLaren
A rambunctious introductory guide to learning a sport enjoyed by 1.5 million Americans each year. In a lively style and with detailed instruction for the complete novice, James MacLaren covers the fundamentals of surfing -- with sections on bodyboarding and bodysurfing as well -- while including vital information on equipment, techniques, wave and wind dynamics, and safety measures to be taken when mounting, turning, and even evading the board. Everything required to get the reader out in the water and onto a surfboard safely is presented in a step-by-step fashion. A chapter on surfing etiquette and a glossary of surfing lingo (which points out which words should never be used) assure that the reader not only will be prepared to surf intelligently but will be safe from committing surfing faux pas in the lineup as well.
