'They say if you go back in time, or venture out to an unspoiled island, you should leave as little trace of yourself as possible. But isn't that true of all times, of all places? Maybe that's why I like to surf. So little harm is done there: you to the water, the water to you. They say the Pacific has no memory, and yet we are drawn together by this strange compulsion: to change our shapes, our selves, the better to embrace each other. Over and over and over. Then fall away, ourselves again. Unhurt.'Tommy Beck is losing his damned mind. His life is suddenly made up of endless crises; when surf Nazis aren't trying to destroy him, Castro is. Georgia and Pip are messing with his head, the shop is more work than he'd bargained for, and his speed habit is getting out of control. The Marines and the crowds at Malibu seem determined to keep him from the best waves on the planet, and Ricky is being, well, Ricky. And all he ever wanted to do was surf, marry a nice girl and raise a garden and some kids. Maybe change the world a little.
