Book Reviews of Essential Surfing
Book Review: Definitive source for technicals on surf board design
Summary: 5 Stars
Outstanding book. I have read it several times over. Although it is a bit dated technology wise(materials), the dynamics and mechanics involved in the physics behind the sport have remianed unchanged. The author explains how different desings(template, tails, bottoms, rails, ect.) affect the boards performance characteristics. I really enjoy reading the book. In fact, it was my companion in arms when I shaped my own surfboard recently and applied all the lamination. The board came out perfect, and I attribute most of the sucess to this book.
