Summary: This is a book for novices
Comment: 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.
Learning to windsurf is just like to learn how to ride a bike. You can't do it by just reading a book.
You should not buy this book if you already are an windsurfer. The book is geared toward beginners and it does an excellent job at that.

Summary: Too short on technique
Comment: 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.

Summary: Windsurfing (Outdoor Pursuits)
Comment: As a book to introduce someone to windsurfing, this is an excellent choice. Winner introduces the sport in a comfortable, easy style, and takes the learner through the basics of the sport in a most helpful fashion. All aspects of the sport are covered very well. It is hard to reduce such a dynamic sport to mere words and pictures, but this book succeeds in conveying the spirit of the sport to the learner. A note of warning for experienced sailors: this is not a book for intermediate level or above windsurfers, but it will make an excellent reference should you wish to help a friend learn to windsurf.
