I was put onto this book by a mate; Thanks Curly
Good surf writers are hard to come by.
Read Nat or MR’s books if you doubt me. “Yawn”.
Ken really is a great author building a balanced atmosphere and set of characters,
and maintaining them throughout the story.
He also weaves the language of the average man, surfer and lowlife beautifully!
I was also impressed at how wonderfully he built the character of the driven big wave explorer.
The plot of this story draws in surfers,
dead end photographers and native Americans,
and ominously ‘the man in the grey suit’
into a, sometimes, dark and violent tome that leaves one feeling there’s a bad storm approaching.
It really runs the whole gambit of emotions and I’m stoked to say Kem never sells out.
Over all a great read for the weekend or surf trip.
Rating 8/10
