What people are saying about Chasing Waves: "The people, the places, the loves, the losses, and the aching curiosity about one's own destiny and motivations--it's all rendered here in strong, fresh prose. This beautiful, worthy book has a place in every surf-literature home library, and is doubtless just the beginning of a great writer's career."
--Daniel Duane, author of Caught Inside: A Surfer's Year on the California Coast
"A sense of freedom, overcoming fears, discovering new cultures, dealing with love, the exciting, unexplainable feeling of riding a wave--this is what Chasing Waves is all about."
--Mary Osborne, pro surfer and co-author of Surf Sister: A Woman's Guide to Surfing with Bliss and Courage
