Brilliant Antique technique!
Written when the "Windsurfer" board was THE board, this book contains lots of information and illustration of freestyle maneuvers that work on that huge old board and rig.I bought it to see what it could addto my non-planing freestyle repertoire, and the moves range from easy toextremely challenging.If you can find it (Amazon found it for me, eventhough out of print) it's a great find for anyone who enjoys goofing aroundon a longboard (or who has extreme shortboard ambitions!) ...

good book for learning beginner and intermediate sailing
this book is easy to understand, and has lots of good pictures

The best how-to windsurfing book
Windsurfing is full of specialized vocabulary and confusing equipment that can be staggering to the beginner.This book through cartoon sketches and fabulous humor takes a bewildered beginner through the passages of becoming a competent windsurfer.I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in the sport of board sailing of windsurfing.It covers all the basic techniques, as well as equipment descriptions, and the basic physics involved in sailing.Great book.

The instruction is kind but moving
The book assumes no knowledge but is kind in this assumption. It gently guides you to competency as you alternate between reading the book with watery hands and grappling with your increasingly less burdomsome rig. The book's attention to details helps develop your competence/confidence. As you become more advanced, necessary details, unfortunately,become smeared together driving you for outside help.The humor is fantastic and helps bolt the ideas into your mind so that under the pressure of angry winds and slap happy seas, you can automatically think of those necessary passages. ...
