Barbarian Days: A Surfing Life by William Finnegan

5.0

I've given this book five stars to reflect my enjoyment of it, but it is certainly not for everyone.

I have only a little surf experience myself but I would say that, some practical experience of surfing is essential to enjoy and understand this book.

It's a proper memoir, no plot or over-constructed narrative, just a man looking back at his days and recounting the narratives as they appear to himself, looking back.

It's hard to say why else I enjoyed it so much, but, I did!
