Description
It’s daunting to find out that the whole day’s big-wave surfing was a warm-up, a passing of time, a pause for the real think. And Jamie was in position to ride the real thing. Jamie was committed. I was scared, stuck halfway in, halfway out, in the never-never land.
When Juan’s best friend, Jamie, has a violent fight with his stepfather, he decides to leave town until things settle down. Juan, Jamie, and Jamie’s sister, Amber, head south to Mexico. Along the way, they search for the perfect wave, finding romance, tragedy, and their own sense of peace among the waves. Jack Lopez’s lyrical writing perfectly captures the intense current of feeling connecting the surfer to the surf.
