Heap of Bones: A Baja Surfer's Chronicle
“If you ever thought the California dream is over, then this is for you—an honest story about a group of Americanos who broke out and went looking for something better…. A fantastic and motivational book…. Sometimes I had tears from laughing.†— Mike Doyle, legendary surfer and author of Morning Glass
After the ruin of California’s coastline in the 20th century, ragged bands of dispirited surfers began migrating down the Baja highway in search of a lifestyle they couldn’t find north of the border anymore. In this humorous and colorful chronicle, Steve Sorensen, a surf refugee who made that journey and became a permanent resident of Mexico, describes what the expat surfers found: an alien landscape, a strange culture, and spectacular waves. For the benefit of those mojados who might follow, Sorensen offers his experience in surviving the challenges of Baja life, including: exorcising demons while surfing alone, finding a cheap colonoscopy in the barrio, identifying and removing false apparitions—plus, a guide to the Baja surfer’s essential pilgrimage to Mt. Rushmore, South Dakota.
