Surfing has evolved from a relatively obscure pastime to one of the
fastest growing sports in the world. Today, there are millions of
surfers across the globe. "The Art of Surfing" was the first book
of its kind to avail participants, both beginner and advanced, with
the same training and coaching principles of the more established
and traditional sports. It has empowered both recreational and
competitive surfers to prepare for and catch the best waves. This
thoroughly revised and updated new edition--with 160 color
photos--covers boards and equipment, the anatomy of waves, body
position and stance, and techniques for everything from paddling to
walking the nose. Special chapters on competition and training,
biomechanics, and the psychology of surfing round out this
first-of-its-kind textbook for the developing surfer. Inside you'll
find information on:
- The basics of boards and other gear, the anatomy of waves, and a
review of basic maneuvers
- Advanced techniques for everything, from paddling to turning to
walking the nose
- Basic and advanced exercises for improving flexibility, balance,
and stability
- Strength-training and power-building routines
- Cardiovascular endurance workouts, as well as cross-training
options
- Tips on performance nutrition, and the latest advances in sports
psychology
A chapter on surf contests rounds out this coaching and training
manual. Let "The Art of Surfing" help you develop a game plan to
boost your physical, technical, and mental performance--and prepare
to catch the next wave.
