Book Reviews of Windsurfing
Book Review: Could be alot better!
Summary: 3 Stars
There aren't many books on windsurfing technique out there and having seen the authors' excellent instructional DVD (Turn for the Better - Excellent!!) I reckoned this was bound to be pretty good. Content wise, the book is good. I just get the impression the whole thing was a rush job. Little or no effort has gone into building on the content to assist conveying knowledge to the reader. A couple of things strike me particulartly.
There's lots of scope for using instructional graphics however all we get is a few arrows beside pictures.
The cover picture is not a good windsurfing picture.
Who cares who actually took each one of the pictures in the book (it's either David or John by the way)
I wouldn't be suprised if we see a far superior second edition in the near future with this one published to meet some sort of deadline.
Anyway, that's all - The content is good - I just think that the "Learnability" could be a lot better!!!
