Read…Read…Read
One of the best ways to improve your surfing technique and skills is to read surfing books and watch surfing movies. When I was a kid I would reading surfing books over and over because I could not surf everyday. I learned so much as a kid from reading those books. So if you are learning how to surf start reading. I have included a list of some good surfing books.
Books:
The Complete Guide to Surfing
The Art of Surfing: A Training Manual for the Developing and Competitive Surfer
Essential Surfing
Movies:
The Endless Summer
Step into Liquid

Ride Anything you can find Revolution
When surfing started everyone rode one type of board. As surfing progressed we moved to shorter boards. Surfing got to the point where you either rode a typical thruster shortboard or longboard. This stayed the same until Clark Foam shut down. Since Clark Foam has closed we have seen new technology – More Epoxy, Carbon Fiber, Tuflite, FIrewire, Parabolic Stringers etc. We are surfing in an ERA of ride anything.
Here is a list of some popular non-main stream things to ride
- Twin Fin Fish
- Finless Alaia
- Classic Single Fin Longboards
- Single fin eggs
Rinse off Everything
After each surf session rinse off everything with fresh water. Salt water will wreck anything it comes in contact with. Rinse you surfboard, wetsuit, bath suit and anything else you use when surfing. Good gear up keep will make your surf gear last for years and will save you a lot of money.
