Hardbound Cloth Cover 103 Pages Cover Table Quality The book was inspired by teaching my eight nephews how to surf at Doheny. I'm sure you can all relate, explaining the concept of the channel to someone only to watch it all go out the window once you're in the water. All that to say, the book was born out of beachside drawings in the sand and sketches on the back of napkins before paddling out. Big thanks, Uncle Tim
