Windsurfing books we recommend...

Windsurfing: The Complete Guide

Author: Ian Currer

I chose this book because I had already read Touching Cloudbase  (A book on paragliding by the same author) and found it excellent.
I was not disapointed, this is very comprehensive and answered all the questions I had, not only about improving my sailing but about buying stuff, setting up your gear etc. which is well worth the cover price alone. Great Pictures and illustrations too.

Written in a very easy untechnical style, and well suited to the beginner and to someone like me trying to improve. Not much good to experienced windsurfers or competitors though. Recommended.
