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 : The Rules in Practice

Title : Learn to Surf
Author : James MacLaren
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : A must for a beginning surfer, more of a survival guide.
This is a great book to learn in depth about surfing, I have been surfing since I was 6 and I wish that I had a book to teach me all of the things that I learned the hard way. This book is a survival guide, It teaches you about waves, form and how to identify rip tides and other things that can end your day of surfing and your life. If you are considering learning to to surf, you can't afford not to read this book.

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 : Indispensable
You must buy this book if you're planning on going further afield than your regular break. I spent 8 months in France and found some great spots on the back of this book. And when you're stuck at home, you'll find yourself drooling over the pictures and mentally planning your way around europe!

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 : Caught Inside: a Surfer's Year on the California Coast
Author : Daniel Duane
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Accessible, reflective and informative
Following Duane from the fringes to the heart of (Californian) surf-culture feels like a personal experience. He writes poetically but avoids cliche by being self-effacing and objective. 'CI' combines diverse literary sources with the simple but physical sensations of surfing; but these are kept in perspective by Duane's reverence for the nature that envelops him. Beautiful.

Title : Athletic Skier
Author : Warren Witherall
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : The Definitive Guide To Advanced Skiing
If you want to know about advanced skiing techniques and how they apply to racing then I would have to recommend this book. For anyone involved in top-end skiing this book is an absolute must.

Title : Surfing: A Beginner's Manual
Author : Wayne Alderson
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Brilliant basic beginners book
I got this book a week before my first ever surfing lesson, and it made me feel so much more confident going in the water, answering some of my questions and giving tips just on things like carrying your board, and paddling out, which all seem quite simple, but to a beginner can be a bit overwhelming all put together. It was great to come back to as well, to review what I'd done, and provides some good information on the different types of boards. It also contains some basic information about rips, currents, what forms waves, and what causes them to break, which I also found fascinating. It is very basic, but as a beginner that's all you need, and I'd definitely recommend it to ayone starting out.

Title : Inner Skiing
Author : Gallwey
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : A small number of classic text that can guide skiing
Many great professionals strive to spread the exilleration and potential that exists in the mountains. It is no enditment on the majority that there are so few truly great books, but here we have one. I have been lucky enough to have a coach who has had the appraoch detailed in Inner Skiing for a number of years, although without any labels. Reading Inner Skiing I was pleased to discover the background to my coaching to date. So simple is the premise of Inner Skiing that if the reader is able to let their mind free their performance can develop to their own personnal highs. To attempt to explain Inner Skiing is meaningless. Just read, take note and try it out. Having seen similar techniques in practice, in Europe, I can vouch for the look of joy on a friends face and the quatum increase in their performance. A must for all skiers from beginners to instructors, just as long as you are not expecting a technical manual. Your mind has a greater effect on your performance.

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.

Title : Pipe Dreams: A Surfer's Journey
Author : Kelly Slater
Rating : 3 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Interesting but average...
This should have been a fascinating read, after all, Kelly Slater has dominated the surfing scene like no one else before and is still considered by many as one of the most powerful surfers around today. However, what we actually get is none of the passion of Kelly's surfing and weak writing lets down what could have been a fascinating story. It all too often has the feel of a school project and even the climax of a world championship fought out in the finals of the Pipemasters contest in Hawaii fails to conjure up the tension it should.
All surfers should find this an interesting enough read, but Kelly should have employed the services of a biographer to tell his story. Not in the same league as Tony Hawk's autobiography.

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 : The World Stormrider Guide: Vol 2 (Stormrider Guides)
Author : Antony Colas
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Very good text but very average photography
The text is great and general info is spot on but to be honest i was disappointed with the book in general because of the pictures. There wasnt much variation in the size and positioning of the pictures(maybe im just used to the superb photography is CARVE magazine) which gave the book a monotonous tone and didnt give you much wow factor.
The text is still a great guide and has given me some great plans just isnt presented as well as it could me, but definately still worth your hard earned cash! :)

Title : Surfing the World (Footprint Travel Guide)
Author : Chris Nelson
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Awesome
A truly inspiring book. Each break is brought to life with the right balance of know-how, stories, history and beautiful photography. This is essential reading for anyone with more than a passing interest in the surf potential of the planet.
