Overview

"Anyone can surf. Most people don't, mainly because they believe that riding waves is difficult and dangerous. It's not. Learning to surf can be the most enjoyable and memorable experience of your life. ""The Kook's Guide to Surfing"" demystifies walking on water and illustrates the steps toward a simple and safe, yet electrifying, experience. From your first wave to your last, ""The Kook's Guide"" shows the way. Jason Borte's informative and witty writing and the informative illustrations can make a non-kook out of you in no time. From preparation, to learning the basics, etiquette, waves, boards, manoeuvres, competition, and much more, Jason Borte delves into all the fundamentals, constantly keeping the emphasis where it belongs - on ""fun"". The adventure is humorous, entertaining and chock full of the sort of information one could only obtain through decades in the water. This is the second edition of ""The Kook's Guide to Surfing"" which was printed with updates at the end of 2011, following the sell-out of the 2010 1st edition."
