 Basic level stuff August 22, 2007

As a previous reviewer has commented, this is basic level stuff. If you're looking for a book with insightful info, programmes to follow and something that can offer more than a high-school gym class in terms of stretches and exercises, this is NOT the book for you. If however, you've never really done much sport before then this is probably a good intro. I don't think it's particularly suited to Surfing per se, and i'd actually recommend a swimming book or something instead. Buy at your own risk!

Very basic. If you already have experience of basic training principles then this book isnt for you.
 Very useful book March 19, 2004

This book is great and has helped my surfing and general fitness level alot. The book is split into three sections: Stretching, Strength Building & Endurance Training. Additionally, the book provides example work-out programmes and schedules using the techniques in the book.The exercise techniques are very well written, easy to follow and the pictures demonstrate correct position. The techniques are divided between those that can be done at home and in the gym. But the book is written such that a full workout can be done at home without additional equipment. The only slightly weak area is the endurance training because it isn't as detailed as the stretching and strength building sections. However, this isn't really a problem because, as the book says, the best way to build endurance is to get out and paddle. So in conclusion, great book, I feel like a steam-boat paddling around and it's definately helped my technique because I feel much more supple. On a side note, it's also good as a general fitness book and my wife (who doesn't surf) uses it too.
