5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 22 April 2001
This review is from: In Search of Captain Zero: A Surfer's Road Trip beyond the End of the Road (Hardcover)
Surfing runs through this book and Allan Weisbecker's life like the stringer in a surfboard, but don't be put off if you have no interest in surfing, it is a reflective and intelligent read, at turns funny as he looks back and recounts past anecdotes and also sad as he considers the eventual fate of Captain Zero. A definite could-not-put-it-down read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, 8 Nov 2007
By N. Flack (warrington) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Makes you want to chuck in work, leave your missus, buy a van and take the dog on the adventure of a lifetime. Pack light, just two boards and a wetsuit, towel and some wax. Soap optional.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like making love, reading the World Stormrider and watching Endless Summer all rolled into one!!!, 11 Jun 2007
This is an epic book that is still not as widely known as it should be. Buy it and revel in an unrivalled surfing adventure.
Weisbecker gets everything spot on and if you read it in preperation to going away I reckon it will make your trip that little bit more special.
Perfect.

1.0 out of 5 stars What a bitter dissapointment
The author's perspective is, frankly, that of a complete narcissist. There is precious little in the way of real surf travel either, to be honest. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful wave
I'm reluctant to give any book five stars and maybe I'll downgrade this in future, but for now it's the best read I've found for years. Read more
