An excellent insight into the surfing psyche

Duane captures the need that compels surfers to travel great distances and give up most other pleasures and pastimes in the pursuit of waves. The insight into the mature and commercial world that is much of Californian surfing is balanced by the wider natural, universal attractions that make surfing the global addiction it is. As an amateur surfer of 10 years it reminds me of those goals I will always seek, and makes me thankful for the non-commercial reality that surfing in a less idylic locale (Britain)can give. It may be that only a surfer knows the feeling, but this book goes a long way to explaining it to the uninitiated.

A glimpse into one mans soul and the depth of his experience

This book offers the side of surfing that no one ever talks about; The "spiritual commune with nature". There is a powerful comradiere one experiences when you are surfing. The power of nature in all its forms can challenge you, but also reminds you of how alive you really are. The No-Cal surfing experience is simply awesome. Daniel Duane has put into words an experience that we all feel in a moment; when the sun is setting, the winds are off-shore, the wildlife is all around you and a beautiful wave, which has travelled for thousands of miles, has come for you. This book reminds us verbally of what we all feel in our heart. Read this book and then go back to where it all began for you...

Experience surfing and the CA coast from anywhere !

A great book for surfers and non-surfers alike. I read this book after visiting California last year. Duane recaptures the atmosphere of surfing and also that of turning off Highway 1, stopping the car and taking a walk. You can almost smell the fresh air and taste the salt water. Im from N. Devon and a surfer when I can get to the beach. Its not as good as being in CA or in the water - but the its the next best thing !
