“Heart warming read that discusses depression, radical life change, and muses on the plight of the lifelong intermediate… grab a copy on Amazon” 

David Lee Scales, Surf Splendor Podcast

​

“I can recommend this book for non-surfers as much as surfers. It goes a long way towards explaining the hook that keeps people addicted to surfing and provides some personal lessons that can be applied to all walks of life” –

Charlie Spurr – The Museum of British

​

“Once I started reading, I couldn’t put it down. The writing is wonderful and Simon really nails it when he defines what an average surfer is and how surfing affects us all”

Imi Barneaud, The Ocean Riders Podcast

​

“Short uses the term “average” not as in mediocre, but to make it relatable to the masses of surfers who are not professionals, and not beginners, but the wave-riders in between. He teaches life lessons with every chapter. You can be scared, intimidated, proud and brave, all in one session”
