It lays bare the surfer's compulsion and the cycles of life experienced by unheralded wave-riders the world around. Over the years the sea has offered the author hardship, hazard, and elation. His true tales span from a teenage epiphany, to encounters with hurricane swell in his mid-seventies. These stories also illuminate the burning desire that sends a select few into icy winter waters, warmed by a passion that cannot be quenched. An award-winning writer, Glenn Gordinier - like millions of others - succumbs to the addictive need to surf. If you are a surfer, this is your story. If you know a surfer and wonder about his or her obsession, the answer is in these pages. If you dream of riding a wave, then join the author and feel the sea's surge as you paddle into a wall of blue. Retired from Williams College, Glenn Gordinier spends his time surfing and writing. He lives by sea with his wife, an artist and activist.
