What people on Hacker News said
I knew nothing and cared little about surfing before this book. I couldn’t put it down after I picked it up though.
Surfing parts aside, this book taught me to appreciate the different parts of your life around your 'obsession' as you get older.
I love the sea and surf and it brought back memories of travelling.
I loved this book, slow start, but pure magic after that.
