À propos de cet audio

Welcome to Paradise, Now Go to Hell is surfer and former war reporter Chas Smith's wild and unflinching look at the high-stakes world of surfing on Oahu's North Shore - a riveting, often humorous, account of beauty, greed, danger, and crime.

For two months every winter, when Pacific storms make landfall, swarms of mainlanders, Brazilians, Australians, and Europeans flock to Oahu's paradisiacal North Shore in pursuit of some of the greatest waves on earth for surfing's Triple Crown competition. Chas Smith reveals how this influx transforms a sleepy, laid-back strip of coast into a lawless, violent, drug-addled, and adrenaline-soaked mecca.

Smith captures this exciting and dangerous place where locals, outsiders, the surf industry, and criminal elements clash in a fascinating look at class, race, power, money, and crime, set within one of the most beautiful places on earth. The result is a breathtaking blend of crime and adventure that captures the allure and wickedness of this idyllic golden world.

Sorry for the negativity, but I got about half way through welcome to hell and I had to stop. I really wanted to get a dirty, real, "vice style" account of the north shore. But this guy just uses the north shore as a backdrop to jerk-himself off about what a cool-ass dirtbag reporter he is. Anytime he talks about surfing it's incredibly simplistic, and there isn't that much about the actual north shore scene.

I learned more about the north shore from random youtube docs. You'd be better of reading anything else in the standard cannon of surfing books.
