Summary

Picture This: You're at your local break and a set wave is approaching. You're out of position, slightly inside. The local demon is dropping in, headed right for you. How will you fare if you have arms of spaghetti? Or what will your teenager think after a session go-out, if afterwards you have to spend the rest of the day laid out on the couch? This book will put you on a workout regimen that will keep you hitting the surf for years to come while your peers will be barely able to push the shuffleboard paddle. -- Jim Lucas, from his foreword to Surf Flex
