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 .

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 : 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 : 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 : 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 : 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 : "Time Out" Ski Guide (Time Out Ski Snowboarding Europe)
Author :
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Best European Ski Guide by Miles!!!

Working out where to go skiing has always been a bit like Russian roulette: most of the time you get away with it but sometimes you have a nightmare of a trip. Not any more. This book helps you make an informed decision on where, when and what to do when you get there. It includes all sorts of info such as which runs to take on, which restaurants to eat at or which bars to frequent. And because all the European resorts are covered, once you've decided where to go this season, you can get to thinking where you want to go next time around as well!!

Love it.
