DescriptionKelea's Gift resounds with the wisdom of surf legends, including the Hawaiian princess who abdicated her throne in order to surf. Half a millennium later, three young women known as the Sea Hags moved into a car in Westport, Washington, and endured the elements, to ride the frigid waters there. Other stories in this volume concern surfers from Duke Kahanamoku, the father of modern surfing, to Jack "Murph the Surf" Murphy, an East Coast surfing champion and the world's most notorious jewel thief. Read an inspiring letter from surfing, sailing, gliding legend, Woody Brown. Tales run from Baja to Saipan and beyond. Kelea's Gift is the view from those who have been there, for the last 500 years.On View
