From the Inside Flap:
Gerry Lopez writes as beautifully as he bottom turns. Whether he is talking about growing up bare foot during the sugar cane days of Hawai'i, wild experiences with some of the greatest characters in surfing's history, or early uncharted expeditions to the best waves in the world, every story has something the reader apply to their own life. Surf Is Where You Find It made me proud to be a surfer.
--Jack Johnson
