Description
Award-winning YA novel set in a surfing culture. The page-turning story traces Fin's journey from hitting rock bottom to making his way back to the surface.
Jamie Finland is a 19-year-old who has turned his back on his mum and headed north to the coast. When local 'soul' surfer Mike Taylor saves his life one day, a strong friendship is formed. Fin lives on the thought of surfing that next wave and partying hard with his best mate and new life mentor. But Mike is killed and Jamie is left alone.
After the accident, Fin is 'adopted' by Mike's Uncle Bobby, who runs a large farming operation down the coast. Fin is starting to get used to his new life when Mike's younger cousin, Jack, freshly expelled from boarding school, arrives on the farm to learn a work ethic. Jack is the complete opposite to Mike and this causes friction with Fin.
Then Jack discovers surfing, and Fin is pressured into fighting the demons he thought he had shut away for good.
