This title introduces readers to the adventurous sport of surfing. Readers will discover the sport's unique, must-have equipment in the text and diagrams, from surfboards to wax, wet suits, leashes, and helmets. Important safety information is also covered, including never surfing alone, respecting right-of-way, wipeouts, rip currents, marine animals, and underwater reefs and rocks. Chapters highlight surfing history from Polynesia to Hawaii and beyond, how to choose a board, and types of surfing, including longboarding, shortboarding, and tow-in surfing. They also cover famous athletes and surfing pioneers, including Duke Kahanamoku, George Freeth, Tom Blake, Kelly Slater, and Bethany Hamilton.
