Few images grab our attention like a surfer hurtling down a titanic wall of water. The amazing story of big wave surfing ranks with the most exciting of adventure sports. A rich history of characters, controversies, heroism, humor and tragedy define the sport. A vein of true grit runs through the cutting-edge athletes who challenge these monster waves, and that same vein can be found in this outstanding collection of stories.
