Australians have made an indelible mark on world surfing.The sheer weight of surfing's untold tales is staggering. Meet the Coolie Kids, Parko, Fanning and Deano, and their great world--champion forebears-the likes of Wayne 'Rabbit' Bartholomew and Peter Townsend. Meet Layne Beachley, the woman who did what no male surfer-no "athlete"-anywhere has even attempted; and Gordon Merchant, the old surfboard shaper who made surf shorts in a caravan and ended up worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
By turns salty, hilarious, wild, sad and uplifting, "An Endless Wave" tells the surf stories you always knew were waiting to be told.
Nick Carroll is one of the most respected writers on the international surf circuit and is the former editor of "Surfing magazine,"
