If you are just getting started or if you want to learn more about the sport of Windsurfing this is the book for you. The book coves the very basic aspects and terminology of windsurfing in detail. It is written in a language that is easy to understand and pleasant to read.
But do not think that the book alone will be enough to make you a windsurfer.
If you want to get started before you buy any gear and/or equipment take some lessons.

I bought this book on the basis of the other reviews only to find that the book is way short on technique. What I wanted was a book showing basic technique - getting up on the board, steering, gybing, etc. The book contains too much verbage in areas like getting fit, some places where you can sail etc. No good to me as a beginner. I wanted more on "how-to" sail the board. Don't waste your money on this one. The book "Windsurfing" by Bornhoft is far far better.

A note of warning for experienced sailors: this is not a book for intermediate level or above ... Read More

If you have no prior knowledge of what windsurfing is, and would like to learn a bit more about it (but not too much), then this book is for you. It provides some good beginner's info, discusses terminology and basic sailing concepts, and then very briefly discusses what advanced windsurfers can do. Windsurfing locations are discussed as well. Very elementary and, in my opinion, left a lot of questions unanswered. I would love to see a book that's both comprehensive and recent in publication, as they're ... Read More
