Barbarian Days: A Surfing Life by William Finnegan

5.0

UPDATE: three years later and I still think that this is the most romantic book I've ever read.

--

I’m not a surfer and I don’t know anything about surfing but I found this book to be absolutely charming and genuine. I just loved hearing the author talk about those waves. It was a relaxing book for me and my long commutes.

The first part was about William’s childhood in Los Angeles and Hawaii.
The second part was about his traveling around the world surfing at many spots.
The third part was about coming back home from traveling around the world and settling down but still surfing.
