DVD Reviews of Learning to Surf with Surfer Joe (Includes Part 1 & 2)
DVD Review: average
Summary: 2 Stars
Creative Sauce "Jimbo"'s review is pretty lame. He objects that everyone is over 40. Not sure what your purpose is for watching this video, Jimbo, but if it's to look at bikini-clad girls, pick up a magazine. This is an instructional video. Besides, if it can teach the oldsters to surf, it will certainly be able to help a cool young hipster like you. But I digress...
I have to give this video a tepid review. It comes in 2 parts. The first part begins with a detailed section on oceanography, which is pretty helpful but may be a bit too technical for some. The DVD moves into the area of fitness, attempting to tell viewers how to get in shape for surfing, yet spends an inordinate amount of time featuring what looks like a very expensive piece of exercise equipment that certainly doesn't come with the video and is not something a beginning surfer is likely to buy. I almost wondered if they were cross-promoting this other product. That whole section was a waste of time, because if you don't have this item, you can't do the exercises. Some basic training that can be done without expensive equipment would have been more helpful.
Even the section on the Indo board was kind of superfluous, as that is also an expensive item to buy if you are not even sure you are going to stick with surfing.
The section on fins was kind of jumbled and disorganized and I wasn't too sure exactly what the guy was recommending.
The surf instruction itself lacked a couple points, such as telling people when to take off on the wave. It seemed to skip over things that may be second nature to an experienced surfer but important to a beginner.
My main complaint about this video is a piece of dangerous information that is given in Part 2. The video tells you that if you fall off the board, you should "dive deep." This is absolutely the worst piece of advice I would ever give anyone about surfing. Dive deep and you may very well break your neck. It is a cardinal rule of surfing that if you fall off, you want to fall as flat as possible as the water may be very shallow.
Once I heard this, the whole video became tainted for me. I can't really recommend it.
