Summary: Great reading for surfers as well as non surfers.
Review: Chris Ahrens' second collection of surf stories is must reading for those who are a part of the surfing culture and those who find it a fascinating part of the diverse American culture. The stories give you a real sense of both the history and the heart of surfing.

The book is funny, irreverent, and touching. You can have a great afternoon, reading it from cover to cover or you can read a quick story on the "john". Either way, you will find it great reading. The story of the death of Bob Simmons alone is worth the price of the book.

Enjoy!! Also check out Chris' first volume of surf stories "Good Things Love Water"

Summary: Funny, Entertaining, Informative
Review: Stories from the ocean-involved from all over as told by Chris Ahrens - a master storyteller. Some of the stories seem to be there to share history, some to share the great story, and most have at least a hint at the humorous side to life. Definately a good book to have around (as long as you don't mind smiling while you read).
