Summary

MP: The Untold Story of a Surfing Legend

Michael Peterson, or MP as he is commonly known, ruled the surfing scene throughout the early to mid-1970s. Despite Michael’s brilliant success he was, unbeknownst to all, facing a tougher opponent than anything he would ever encounter in the surf. What many dismissed as introverted weirdness was, in fact, the early sign of paranoid schizophrenia, and Michael’s battle with this disease would ultimately put an end to his flourishing career.
