Riding the Wave: A Global History of Surfing is a sweeping, personal, and richly told nonfiction story that blends past and present, myth and memory, ritual and rebellion.
Join author Oliver Greyson as he explores sacred Hawaiian surf rituals, the rise of California's surf culture, and the worldwide spread of wave-riding from Senegal to Sydney.
