For the purposes of this book, sometimes demonstrating the point had to take precedence over maximum quality.…

À propos de l’auteur
Surf Better is the product of his long and varied experience with all phases of surfing.
Responding to the needs of surfers of all skill levels, including those returning after long layoffs or recovering from injuries, he also developed a series of non-destructive, zero-impact, surf-specific exercises—exercises which proved their worth by allowing him to get back into surfing after non-surfing injuries forced a layoff of several years. These are included in the Dry Land Surf School section.
