DescriptionIn this brilliantly written travel adventure, novelist and journalist Michael Scott Moore visits unlikely surfing destinations - Israel and the Gaza Strip, West Africa, Great Britain, Germany, Indonesia, Japan, Cuba, and Morocco-to find out. The result is an entertaining look at how modern surfing became a major American export, like Hollywood or rock 'n' roll, mingling with cultures that should have every reason to ignore a pop movement that started, more or less, in Moore's hometown.On View
