If you want to rip like the pros and amaze your friends with all the gnarly surf tricks that you can pull, then get yourself Pro Surf Secrets.  This is the best guide for all you wannabe pros out there.  It gives you advice on wave selection, tips on improving speed down the line, and more.

If you want to learn to surf like a pro then I highly recommend this book.  It acts as your own personal surf coach, but it’s not super expensive and it’s there whenever you want it.  I checked out this book and it has some solid material that will help any intermediate surfer learn some moves.

Surf tricks are hard to learn because the ocean isn’t a stationary object.  Sure this is what makes surfing super fun, but it can be frustrating for someone who wants to practice.
