NOTE on the pictures

Some readers have expressed dissatisfaction that the pictures within the e book are black and white, not full coloration. Utilizing coloration photographs within the print version would have required a value of $40 or $50 per e book simply to interrupt even. Clearly this was not an choice. (The photographs within the Kindle version are all the unique full coloration.)

There have additionally been some feedback in regards to the high quality of the pictures. One drawback is that printing on shiny or semi-gloss paper (which might have preserved the picture high quality) would additionally elevate the associated fee to a prohibitive stage. Once more, the pictures within the Kindle version look higher than these within the print version as a result of there isn’t a subject of paper high quality.

The opposite drawback is that one of the best picture by way of high quality will not be at all times one of the best picture for instance the purpose at hand. Taking good surf footage is actually fairly simple (shoot at 7 to 12fps and also you’re assured to seize some nice moments), however getting a superb, clear picture for instance a selected level, with the surfer’s foot or arm or physique in precisely the place you need to talk about, is amazingly exhausting. For the needs of this e book, typically demonstrating the purpose needed to take priority over most high quality.
