AbstractHistoryArchive Description

They drove to the edge of fear and back, but still had time to surf.

A dead-end life.

A big-wave dream.

An epic surfari.

School's out, but Goog is about to learn three new Rs - relationships, responsibility and revenge - as he and Castro go barrelling across the country in Aldo's old Kingswood. Sharks the size of trucks, a sinister hitchhiker, campervan tourists, neo-nazis, wild-haired surf fiends - three guys can get into a lot of trouble covering four thousand kilometres of coastline.

One a month — Indonesian Breaks, steep peaks over sharp coral. All signed: Castro. Goog's best mate Castro vanished into the Southern Ocean, but his body was never found. So Goog flies north, chasing the ghost of his dead friend. He hooks up with Niagara — a young American hunting his own illusions — and together they set off on a wild, gritty, surf odyssey. But are they actually at the mercy of an unseen puppet master, and what will they find in the surreal shadow-lands of Indonesia?' (Source: Author's website)
