This is probably the most concise how-to snowboard book I ever read and I read many. Two pages to teach you how to set up your equipment, two pages to teach you how to turn, two pages to teach you some freestyle maneuvers including ollies and 180 spins, well you get the point. I'm giving this five stars because snowboarding is just that simple! I've read 300+ pages book on how-to snowboard and that to me is just insane. I am not professional or even expert but I can make nice carve turns and I think that is what everyone who is starting snowboarding or reading these books want to achieve: to make nice turns.

After that, it is up to the reader to practice and practice some more in order to reach the next level.
