Title : Learn to Surf
Author : James MacLaren
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Before entering the water, read it, often

Sit down and read it on a fine day overlooking the sea and the surf and you'll go back in the water understanding so much more - It really is that good, even for such a small volume. After reading three other books on how to learn, this is the one that is making sense of all the others. That, and Wingnut's Art of Longboarding DVD if you can find it.

The section on reading the water surface to identify rip currents I haven't seen described anywhere else... plenty of books explain the dangers of rips, but not how to find spot them on the water surface

By all means buy some other step-by-step photo books, but get this one too

Title : Surf Flex: Flexibility, Yoga and Conditioning Exercises for Surfers (Sport Flex Series)
Author : Paul Frediani
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : definitely worth buying!

if you want a simple, no fuss and easy way to improve your surfing this book will help you.

basically its realistic excersises and stretching aimed at surfing, and take it from this fat, lazy mid 30's chap even if you just take elements it will help you out.

this really is a good book.

Title : Hermann Maier: The Race of My Life
Author : Hermann Maier
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Who needs footballers when we have sportsmen like Hermanator

An inspiring account of the unbelievable recovery from a horrific accident. This is a thoroughly good read if not a little cheesy in parts (although this may be a result of the translation process).

Other than that, if you are an admirer of the almighty Herminator, then this will not disappoint.

Title : Athletic Skier
Author : Warren Witherall
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : The best ski instruction I've had in 35 years of skiing!

The Athletic Skier takes a very unusal approach to ski instruction. It begins with the assumption that you cannot ski well if your boots are not fitted so that they are flat on the snow. It is so elementary, but so ignored in the world of ski instruction. It is also very difficult to accomplish, but worth the effort. Once you take the time to follow the authors' advice, your skiing will improve dramatically. Then if you work on carving the turns as they suggest, you'll realize another leap forward, part of which occurs just because you are standing on the skis correctly.

Title : "Time Out" Ski Guide (Time Out Ski Snowboarding Europe)
Author :
Rating : 2 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Read like a sunday paper article

Disapointing. You are better off forking out a bit more money for a more comprehensive guide. OTOH, does a good job of summarizing how different resorts are linked to each other. Maybe a good buy if you are spandex wearing piste cruiser.

Title : Allen and Mike's Really Cool Telemark Tips (Falcon Guide)
Author : Allen O'Bannon
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Drop the knee, not the bomb...

I'm the illustrator of this groovy book. If the following sounds like shameless self promotion...it is. 109 amazing tele-tips, what more could you ask for? I personally subjected my ski partners to my less than subtal research technique, I bugged 'em by asking every concievable question and making 'em try (almost) every tip in the book. The winter of 97/98 involved getting up in the morning and going backcountry skiing, then coming home and drawing bizzare cartoons of what subtal telemark insights I uncovered durring the day. The results are in this little book. People actually stop me on the street and thank me for improving their tele-skiing! If you telemark (beginner or expert, doesn't matter) you need this book; for example there is a funny cartoon of a guy puting a penny in his butt...really! Strange but true, this is a valuable tool to perfect this beautiful style of skiing. 'nuff said...Mike Clelland!

Title : The All-mountain Skier: The Way to Expert Skiing
Author : Mark Elling
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : The best ski book. For anyone except total beginners.

Some people will never be able to get any benefit from reading a book on a sport. Not everyone can take the knowledge of _how_ something should be done and the advice on how it should look/feel, and be thinking about it when they are trying to perform the action later. For them, all such books are wasted efforts.

Luckily for me I get real benefits from these sorts of books if they are done well. Especially in sports that are technical and often counter-intuitive, which skiing certain is.

This book is superb example of a sports manual and it does all that one could hope for in a book.

For me the most useful aspects of the book are:
- the author explaining to you in detail what is happening when you ski, how it works, what your body does and what the skis do
- how it should _feel_ to do something right. This allows you to have a goal to work towards and goes some way to addressing the disadvantages of not having an instructor.
- the drills

The overall structure of the book is also a strong point. The author breaks down 'skiing' into stance, steering, edging, body movement etc and goes into great detail on each. This helps you to target areas more specifically and find where lies the weakness that seems to be holding you back.

There is also a great section on choosing your equipment, and perhaps more importantly, having it set up correctly.

Later on in the book the chapters move away from this 'toolbox' approach and onto how a skier should use their tools ski in a certain manner and to deal with different terrain and conditions (steeps, crud, trees, bumps).

This sections of the book feels like getting the best advice your instructor/friends ever gave you. Certainly you then have to get out there and do it in order to learn, but at least you know what you should be doing, how it should feel, what your problems may be etc.

I have already gone on long enough, but in closing I would remind anyone reading how much even 1 hour of tuition costs. Even if you don't get as much out of this book as I did it is a bargain, and the _only_ book I would recommend.

I would defy anyone to read it and not feel that they have learned something which they can use to improve their skiing.

Title : The Stormrider Guide: Europe - Complete Colour Atlas and Guide to All the Surfing Locations in Europe
Author : Oliver Fitzjones
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Excellent Book, an essential part of any surfers library

The ideal book for any surfing trip whether it be to the West Country or Europe. All of the major breaks are listed and there is good info on which beaches to surf when.

Title : The World Stormrider Guide (Stormrider Guides)
Author : Antony Colas
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : The planning starts here...

No way near as in depth as the European Stormrider, but it's crammed with loads of beautiful photos and serves as a good jump off point to start your surfari from...

Title : The All-mountain Skier: The Way to Expert Skiing
Author : Mark Elling
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : It just clicks ater reading this book!

.
For someone interested in skiing well, especially the technical side of things, this book is a god send!

The author explains things in a detailed manner which is really easy to take on board.

I read this book before skiing for two weeks in Austria, on the third day I was skiing fast,(let's face it anybody can) but with perfect control,(not many people can) on any run. It seems like when an instructor is repeating the same thing over and over again your brain just dosen't take it in. However, once you've realised for yourself what you should be donig, it just clicks!

The book is is split into common sensed chapters starting with building a collection of basic skills, the author calls this a tool box, tackling basics like; stance, edging, pressure control then moves onto specific techniques for powder, moguls and steeps among other things blending tools from the toolbox to hone a good technique in the differint conditions.

I concentrated on one chapter per day, practicing what the author preached. It worked great. There is drills to help emphasis certain technique particulars and also trouble shooting section in each chapter if you still have problems.

One of my favourite things in each chapter is that the author tells you what you should see and feel through the skis and your tracks when you get it right. Often this is very simple and you may remember from previuos experience when you have got it right. However, sometimes it's very discreet and you would never have realised.

There is also a good section on tuning skis referring to edge angle and binding tuning, although it is a bit ahead of my standard but worth a read never the less.

By working with this book you could easily be one of those people everyone watches from the lift!

This book is well worth the money and I would definatley buy it if you feel your not getting anywhere with lessons. Maybe your just sick of waiting for all the slow ones to catch up! Lessons aren't cheap at the end of the day and it's a fraction of the price.

Although I have skied before a with a good level of instruction, my skiing and understanding of it definatley improved due to this book. Everyone has give 5 stars for a reason, thats why I bought it.

Title : Ski Flex: 10 Minutes to Better Skiing (Sports Flex)
Author : Paul Frediani
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Sound stretching and strengthening advice for skiers

This is a very brief but useful book that targets ski specific stretches, warm-ups and warm downs for ski seasn, as well as off-season strengthening / fitness exercises.

It you want to get the most out of your time in the mountains, I highly reccommend it.

Title : Allen and Mike's Really Cool Telemark Tips (Falcon Guide)
Author : Allen O'Bannon
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : An excellent guide to improving your telemark technique

I've been a telemark skier for over 15 years. Even so, this book has been very helpful in helping me to understand and improve my technique. The book dissects the turn into an incremental learning experience - really giving a skier something to focus on in the quest for tele-turning joy. Understanding that each skier is an individual, the authors don't try to force-fit the reader into a particular mold, instead allowing the skier to find the tips that will most help their skiing. The humorous illustrations and writing make for a refreshingly friendly and approachable book - an improvement upon the usual writing on the subject. The book has been helpful for me, and I don't doubt that tele-skiers of all skill levels will find it just as useful.

Title : Athletic Skier
Author : Warren Witherall
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Essential reading for advanced skiers

This is truly an amazing book. The numerous colour photos are inspirational, and the text is very well written. This is one of the few sports books I've ever read that will genuinly make you better just by reading it.

Negatives? I'm not sure I agree with all his boot fitting advice, but he's totally right on canting: until you've experimented with your canting angles your skis aren't set up right. Second, some people will feel initially (as I did) that this book is overly focussed on carving, and as well from a racing and on-piste perspective. But I've learnt (and you should too) that you need to put at least a little carve into every turn, and until then you're not skiing pistes, moguls or off-piste properly. (OK, if you always ski on powder you don't need to learn carving). As he points out, carving is the diffence between playing soccer on wet grass in running shoes or football boots.

In summary: buy this book. You'll learn a huge amount about skiing and you can show your non-skiing friends the lovely photos.

Title : Surfing: A Beginner's Manual
Author : Wayne Alderson
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : A practical and clear introduction to the sport.

Wayne Alderson's book covers all the important issues necessary to give anyone who wants to start surfing a fun, safe and informed introduction to this sport. The book takes the beginner through the fundamentals in good detail with clear photographs and illustrations. Since the author is British it is geared to surfers in the UK. However it has a very sensible approach to learning the fundamentals of surfing that anyone can benefit from. It also covers all the ancillary issues such as equipment selection, safety and surfing weather in practical detail. Above all it is easy and fun to read. With more advanced techniques also included it provides support even to intermediate or advanced surfers wanting another angle on surfing at their level. I have surfed in the UK, in Japan, Indonesia and Australia and I find myself using this book as a reference time and again to help refresh and move my surfing to the next level. Read, surf and enjoy.

Title : Surfing: A Beginner's Manual
Author : Wayne Alderson
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : No book can compare to lessons

This is a very good book but by reading anything like this without taking lessons it could be dextremental for your surfing.

First note this book is for beginners only and is very good at what it does, this is the book to buy, it takes you through safety, equipment, types of surf, very basic surf forcasting, and then to the important bits, standing up and learning to ride a wave properly like the pro's. I would strongly recommend to buy this book above all others.

It does roughly go over more complex moves but you won't be doing these for a long time yet and will need specialized lessons probably.

Lastly I have to reiterate, to do anything like this its no good just reading a book, you NEED real lessons, someone to show you how to overcome boundries, tell you if your learning a technique wrong... which can take a longtime and much more effort to relearn if you do learn it wrong, and also to answer your questions, but most importantly boost your confidence in the water.
