I'm 45 and learning to surf. Some very nice and patient young friends (Levi, Erin, Seth and Shely) took me to out to Todos Santos, Baja California for some first time lessons. I had a lot of fun. This books covers everything that you need to know, I mean everything and I think reading is a must. Now I'm working out, getting into shape and planning my next surf trip.
