No two waves are the same, yet Gerry learned something universal from learning their nature. Nature, as Wordsworth professed, never betrays the heart of one who loves her. Gerry has always loved the ocean, you can see it in Surf is Where You Find it approach to the wave and also to people--and nature has always supported Surf is Where You Find it. If you observe Gerry's effortless, slacked-down style, not only while he's surfing, you will discover it's all about seeing things and being with things exactly as they are -- moment to moment -- without imposing any delusions or even any thoughts. There's power and peace in that brand of anti- intellectualism, because that's seeing and being with reality. Some surfers see it right away, others never do. To find success in surfing, we must learn to be in harmony with nature. This will bring a sense of peace. By sharing this peace, and contributing to other people's happiness, we can find the true meaning of life. Keep surfing. And so is this one. The Aloha Spirit of Surfing Gerry.

They have absolutely nothing in common except for the same stoke you can get from both surfing and snowboarding which is his overall message in this book that no matter where you are you can get stoked from almost anything you have a passion for. I thought that he used really good stylistic devises when he talked about his experiences in the ocean like when he says " I felt a tingle go through me as we got near". He also is really good at describing the moments that get you stoked like being in Surf is Where You Find it barrel. For example he says "Everything seemed to slow down as well Then it was over and I shot out into daylight at high speed I think that this book is really important to our society today because everybody needs to find the thing that gets you stoked and high on life because that makes you happy.
