 Vovo dos manuais de instrucao do kitesurf January 28, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Desatualizado. Parece querer ser um manual de instrucao, ou ate talvez seja o vovo dos manuais do kitesurf. Com graficos muito pobres e fotos amadoras mostrando ora a pipa ora o kitesurfer, mas dificilmente a ambos numa mesma foto senao durate um salto. Portanto nao dispoem dos recursos da fotografia didatica (que exige pericia na preparacao em se tratando de kite pois quando se tem separados o kitesurfista da pipa nunca se sabe o que esta acontecendo com o lado que nao eh mostrado) alem de demorar explicando as diferencas entre os modelos para a agua ou para a terra e entre os kites de 2 linhas e os de 4 linhas.
Not satisfied October 18, 2007
I found this book superficial. I bought it to learn how to kitesurf but the section was only about 40 pages without much technical details. The other sections are about land, snow, etc... Also to much about the history of kiting which in my opinion shouldn't take this many pages in a technical manual. 'The "ultimate" book of power kiting and kiteboarding', not really. I returned the book the same day, and looked for a better one.
 A nice kitesurfing guide September 19, 2007
I found this book very helpful. It contains, history of the sport and a lot of important techniques and tips, starting from the amateur level and moving on to advanced level 3 tricks. I recommend it.
