Why read it?
1 author picked Walking on Water as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I loved the book because the author’s love for the sport comes across so plainly. The stories from the spiritual home of surfing, Oahu’s North Shore, are wonderful. It’s an essential text for anyone getting into the sport, capturing its soul better than anything else I have read.
From Mark's list on the thrills and dangers of extreme sports.
