A dazzling novel about surfing that also explores the issues of adoption. "All they lived for was the white pumping surf...young men, dressed in crazycoloured wet suits, cutting through the breakers...The very sight of them made his body zing..." Matt hero-worships the surfers, who bring a taste of freedom and adventure to the grey northern seaside town where he lives.
