Amazon Review
If you think snowboarding is just too cool for you, then think again. Claiming to be "the first guide aimed at the post-teen crowd", this book will tell you all you need to know to get going, whatever your age or cachet.

The first chapter, "The Evolution of a Revolution", tells you where boards came from and where they're going. Once you know the history, successive chapters teach you about the correct equipment, getting started and making your first turns. And when you're proficient in the basics, you can move on to "freestyle", "almost vertical" and other death-defying moves.

Aimed at every level of boarder, the book's full colour diagrams and photography sequences make sure you know what you're letting yourself in for, and breathtaking action shots give your adrenaline all the motivation it needs. A superb guide for beginner and enthusiast alike.
