Makes you want to chuck in work, leave your missus, buy a van and take the dog on the adventure of a lifetime. Pack light, just two boards and a wetsuit, towel and some wax. Soap optional.

Like making love, reading the World Stormrider and watching Endless Summer all rolled into one!!!

This is an epic book that is still not as widely known as it should be. Buy it and revel in an unrivalled surfing adventure.
Weisbecker gets everything spot on and if you read it in preperation to going away I reckon it will make your trip that little bit more special.
Perfect.

I'm reluctant to give any book five stars and maybe I'll downgrade this in future, but for now it's the best read I've found for years. Weisbecker is a hugely entertaining author who has put some incredible experiences down on paper. You don't need to surf to enjoy it ('though you may get a little more from it), I laughed out loud a lot but also got a couple of jolts recognising parallels with my own life although I've lived a hell of a lot more sheltered one than Weisbecker! Hopefully his new book will get out of litigation and on sale soon as this has left me hungry for more. Buy it now!

Classy writing

Allan Weisbecker is one of the best writers around today. His books are bursting with all kinds of emotion and intelligent writing. You can't get bored of this stuff whether you are a surfer or not. He has led an incredible life and you can feel that when you read one of his books, as his real life experiences are behind his writing. Imagine sinking $30 million worth of Columbian pot attempting to ship it to the US!! Allan isn't one to shy away from the real issues in his writing either as his website and latest book are testimony to.

Surfing runs through this book and Allan Weisbecker's life like the stringer in a surfboard, but don't be put off if you have no interest in surfing, it is a reflective and intelligent read, at turns funny as he looks back and recounts past anecdotes and also sad as he considers the eventual fate of Captain Zero. A definite could-not-put-it-down read.
