With a fresh voice and surf-saturated daydreams, this author celebrates the
joys of traveling to feed an addiction. Amy Waeschle became a surf addict
shortly after catching her first wave more than seven years ago. To her,
surfing is more of a feeling than a sport, combining the mental quest for
exploration with the physicality of riding a wave. Hunting down waves in
remote corners of the world, from Morocco to Fiji to Canada, Waeschle has
found unique and fascinating cultures that have changed her views and
fostered her surfing mission. Chasing Waves is her collection of
interrelated stories based on these adventures and a chronicle of her
evolution from nervous newbie to self-confident and skillful surfer. Anyone
who has ever longed for a daring diversion from day job and doldrums will
connect with these tales of wanderlust, vagabonding, and riding the surf.
