Book Reviews of In Search of Captain Zero : A Surfer's Road Trip Beyond the End of the Road
Book Review: On the road with Alan Weisbach
Summary: 5 Stars
Whereas Weisbachs book could have used a little tighter editing (it is considerably over long), Weisbach, a child of the 60s, is a powerful story teller with a nice turn of phrase, and an insiders perspective (sorry, my apostrophe key is blotto) of not one, but two exclusive and machismo fraternities (but im not giving them away). His passion for the nomads life, hard core surfing ability, extraordinary survival skills (some might say fortune), immense cojones, and larger than life experiences make this an exciting read. Weisbach offers his ruminations on the mechanics and metaphysics of surfing, wave dynamics, and the Surfers Path (as we call it) as well. That said, if you are not a surfer or water man/woman, you might better read Ulysses. kcl
