This is a book for beginners — People who would like to learn how to surf but have little or no experience with surfing or even the ocean. Surfer’s Start-Up is a simple, almost Dick and Jane approach to surfing instruction that works. This book is not very sexy, although, as one esteemed reviewer put it, we “get to the meat of the matter.” That is, we will teach you how to stand up on a surfboard. And that is very exciting (even sexy!) indeed.

Written by someone who went through the learning process, topics are covered with just enough detail to get the reader riding the waves quickly and safely. It teaches the beginner surfer the fundamentals of the sport; what to expect in the first days of learning; and how to cope with waves, learning frustrations, and crowds. This edition has been updated with the latest information on equipment, technique, and resources.
