Surfing The Manual: Advanced
Education & Reference Crafts & Hobbies Sport & Recreation
Surfing The Manual: Advanced by Jim Kempton is the 2008 illustrated paperback that serious wave riders cite as their go-to surf reference. Kempton, longtime editor of Surfer magazine, packs 335 photo-rich pages with progressive techniques, board design tweaks and real-world tactics for bigger, faster breaks.
Young adults and adults who already drop in confidently will find step-by-step coaching on rail work, aerials and safety in heavy water. The clear diagrams and sequences make complex maneuvers feel doable, turning each session into an instant skills lab.
This very-good-condition copy comes from a smoke-free home, so the pages are crisp and odor-free. Wave Finder’s durable binding lays flat on the beach while you plan your next set, and the generous margins leave room for quick notes on what worked in the lineup.
Add this advanced surf bible to your quiver and watch your line choices sharpen. Copies surface rarely in this clean shape, so grab Kempton’s guide before the next swell arrives.
