Title : Cross-country Skiing for Everyone
Author : Jules Older
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : What a kick!

One of the things I love about cross-country skiing is its diversity. Another thing is the easy-going quality -- you just go and enjoy the hell out of it, whether you're skating or track skiing or telemarking or running around the backcountry yodeling. The thing I DON'T like is how many practitioners take it sooo seriously. Jules Older's book is a kick in the pants. He has the right priorities. Whether he's talking about equipment, clothing, technique, skiing with your old dog, even waxing (which attracts the real fanatics!), you feel he's about to giggle. and it's contagious! There's still plenty of useful information; but the context - including photos - makes it fun. If you'd like to learn about a great sport, hear some great stories, and laugh a lot in the process, I'd choose this over any other book! (And yeah, I used to be one of those fanatics; turns out it's more fun to learn and laugh at the same time.)

Title : The World Stormrider Guide (Stormrider Guides)
Author : Antony Colas
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Nice on the book shelf but not a bible

Nicely presented with statistics and the such like , but a 'world summary' more than a world guide.Any core surfer is going to know about most of the places presented anyway. Also some strange choices - Israel ??! and Pernambuco ?? I lived in Brazil for six years and can definetly state that Pernambuco has the WORST surf in Brazil.Keeps you busy in the down time and the photos and oceanography info are excellent .

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 World Stormrider Guide (Stormrider Guides)
Author : Antony Colas

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 : 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 : Caught Inside: a Surfer's Year on the California Coast
Author : Daniel Duane
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : this is how it feels....

I bought this book based on other reviews and really enjoyed it as the author does manage to convey much of what if feels and what drives you to surf. It's not outstanding literature but it is a good read and probably one to pass to your girlfriend/boyfriend to give them some understanding of why you do what you do, although be prepared for them to dump you afterwards!

Title : Allen and Mike's Really Cool Telemark Tips (Falcon Guide)
Author : Allen O'Bannon
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Great - an invaluble help in the free heel quest!

I've been skiing for years and am training to be an instructor.I found the tips usefull for personal improvment and the ideas great to share with pupils/ clients. It's a must for any freeheel skier and second only to PP's masterpiece for easy to understand Tel Tips.

Title : Where to Ski Snowboard 2007 (The 1000 Best Winter Sports Resorts in the World)
Author : Chris Gill
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Great factual guide to resorts

I can't live without this book any more when going snowboarding. It's also fun browsing through it when you're deciding where to go.

Excellent piste maps, resort descriptions, and ratings of all sorts of things. The town plans are terrible and it's a shame there aren't more photos, but there's too much information to fit in big photos.

Title : That Oceanic Feeling: A Surfer's View of the World
Author : Fiona Capp
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Antidote to the British Winter....

If you're looking for motivation to dig out, wax up and paddle out your surf board after a long cold winter, this is it.

Beautifully written, this thoughful and though provoking book captures the pleasures of surfing, and covers just enough of the history and culture of the sport to whet your appetitie without trying to turn you into a social historian.

The Austrialian author is obviously bent out of shape by Austalia's domestic immigration policy, but even her political hand-wringing is thought provoking, even though it loses a lot of its relevance for UK readers.

I've just read my copy in two days and would happily recommend it to any surfer (or anyone with a love of the sea) looking for a good read....

Title : Surfing Europe (Footprint Surfing Guide)
Author : Chris Nelson
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : awesome

I've just bought this book and I have to say it's the best surf guide out there. Its got more spots than my Stormrider but it also has info on places to stay, surf shops, tips from top surfers, stuff to actually read - I don't know why no one's done this before. I'm off to France next week and this will definately be on my dashboard. Nice one.
