Summary: A Picture is worth a thousand words!
Comment: This is an excellent book for a beginner windsurfer. It is very concise and it covers a lot in a small number of pages.
This book has about 2 pictures per page. The pictures are really useful to understand the concepts and the movements.
But do not expect to be an expert windsurfer in a weekend.
Windsurfing is just like riding a bike, or driving a car. The theory is relatively simple, you can understand it quickly, but it usually takes some time for you to do the "right things" automatically.
The best way to learn to windsurf is to attend a lesson at a windsurfing school. A lesson is absolutely the best investmente for a beginner windsurfer.
But reading this book is definitely helpful. It will get you used to the terminology and basic theory and it will also help you know what to expect in your lesson.
Of all windsurfing books that I have seen this one has by far the best pictures and illustrations.

Summary: This book will help you a lot if you are a beginner
Comment: Of course, no reading will replace real experience, but this book will help you a lot. It will tell you how to start, how to paddle to the shore, and once you can stand on the board it'll teach you how to steer. Just don't expect to learn to sailboard in a weekend, it will take longer! The book covers only the basics, it's only about 90 pages with 60% being pictures. Have fun!

Summary: Learn Windsurfing in a Weekend
Comment: This book follows the premise that a picture is worth 1000 words and it succeeds. All the basics and more are covered in well presented pictures accompanied by diagrams, and step by step graphic progressions. Basic technique, equipment, safety, etc. are covered, leading the user up to an intermediate level of windsurfing. The only better things would be an instructional video or private instruction. Especialy at the price, this book is a real "keeper" in your sailing library. I teach windsurfing and every student that has bought the book, has continued to use it and enjoy it.
