In this book, the author talks about his personal journey. Dealing with his spiritual and vocacional struggles. Making an analogy between surf, zen Buddhism and life. It is well written, engaging and very profound.

I would absolutely recommend this book. It takes complex spiritual concepts and projects them into an interesting personal story. The only risk is you will want to learn how to surf, and become a monk.
