 Too wordy April 1, 2008
This is a pretty comprehensive book covering everything from equipment to wax to turns. It would be nice to have a easier method of learning how to turn, but the way presented here for turns is pretty complicated. Snowboarding is not too complicated so I do not understand why this book is so long.

I've returned that book, didn't like it. For beginners I recommend "GO SNOWBOARD" - better, simpler,cheaper,latest issue,instructional DVD included.
 Buy the Illustrated Guide to Snowboarding instead. December 6, 2000

This book is decent, but the Illustrated Guide to Snowboarding is a much more in-depth and well written book. It is also more entertaining with funny drawings and tips. This book really only skims the surface on all the areas you need to start snowboarding.

This book is great for begginers and also explains advanced tricks and techniques like methods, spins, cliff drops, carving and explains a little about racing and competative snowboarding. It also gives you usefull info like what to eat before you go, warm-ups, getting on and off chairlifts, ect.
