Critics Review
“One of the wittiest, most insightful voices in surfing is at it again. An essential read for kooks and kings alike.” - Evan Slater, Editor, SURFING MAGAZINE, and big wave legend.;“Jason Borte is something rare: a world-class surfer who writes as well as he rides waves. He’s also a gentleman, which means this book is infused with his compassionate sensibility. The central message: be considerate of your fellow surfers, kooks and non-kooks alike. I know many long-time surfers who’d benefit from reading it. - Steve Hawk, Editor, SURFER MAGAZINE, and the guy who put Tony Hawk on a skateboard.;“Jason’s no kook, that’s for sure…If anyone can help you rise above the surfing world’s most touchingly humble status, he can.” - Nick Carroll, Editor, SURFING MAGAZINE, and big brother of three-time world champion Tom Carroll.
