Summary: Disappointing...
Comment: There is very little in this book that the average fitness-minded person does not already know. Granted, it does provide some ideas how to properly structure your training, and also a few exercises (esp. plyometrics) that are unique to this book, but on the overall does not have detailed enough information on surf-specific workouts. Also, the instructions for some of the more complex strength exercises such as the squat are dangerously inadequate. While such exercises may be highly productive if performed with correct form, the description in this book does not include even basic aspects of the right technique, and may so set you up for injury. Even though this was one of the first, there are better books on this topic!

Summary: Great Book-
Comment: I bought this book for my boyfriend for Valentine's Day..I figured he'd get some good use out of it, but I had no idea he would really get so much out of this book. He read the book and picked out the areas he wanted to work on, and set himself up with a routine that he does, and since he knows that these particular moves are aiding his surfing ability and endurance, he had no trouble at all sticking to them! If you're already a body builder, this book is no good for you. It's more for the person who exercises regularly, but didn't really have a form and routine to follow to make the most of it, and get the most out of it. Makes a great gift for a surfer who needs a little more endurance, or it just starting out, or one who just needs something to keep them in surf shape during those cold winter months, or those poor surf days!

Summary: Ugh--disappointing
Comment: If you have any knowledge of strength training whatsover, or if you already train (cardiovascular and/or resistance)on a semi-regular basis you don't need this book. The list of excercises is basic, the movement descriptions (kinesiology) aren't adequately detailed, and there were no compelling "surf specific" workouts.
The main point of the book is certainly salient: raise your fitness level (strength, endurance) and you will perform better and feel more comfortable in the water. However, if you really want to raise the general level of your fitness, buy a book on strength training and a book on flexibility and create your own workout to focus on core muscle groups. (Working out in a pool a couple of times a week wouldn't hurt either)
