About this ebook
Al Mennie's candid account of a young surfer's journey from the Causeway Coast, Northern Ireland to being regarded as a member of the big wave elite is a window into what it really takes to ride the most terrifying waves in the World. An honest, intriguing, sometimes humbling and ultimately triumphant story of one man's single minded pursuit of the greatest of dreams on the frontiers of the sport.
This is surfing away from the packaging, promotion and media circus. Unsullied, emotional, raw and wild, a call to all those who love the wild places and finding their place in them.
