Book description
Writer, surfer, and househusband Richard Taylor is mad about beaches
and islands, and was inspired by a house exchange that whisked him and
his family from a freezing Ottawa winter to a year of some of the
world's best surf on the east coast of Australia. In an era of
packaged paradises and cyber surfers, the forty-something writer's
first case of the mid-life blues seduced him into recapturing his
youthful romance with surfing.
