Heap of Bones: A Baja Surfer's Chronicle

Heap of Bones: A Baja Surfer's Chronicle

â‚¬Å“If you ever thought the California dream is over, then this is for youâ‚¬"an honest story about a group of Americanos who broke out and went looking for something betterâ‚¬Â¦. A fantastic and motivational bookâ‚¬Â¦. Sometimes I had tears from laughing.â‚¬Â â‚¬" Mike Doyle, legendary surfer and author of Morning Glass

After the ruin of Californiaâ‚¬s coastline in the 20th century, ragged bands of dispirited surfers began migrating down the Baja highway in search of a lifestyle they couldnâ‚¬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 apparitionsâ‚¬"plus, a guide to the Baja surferâ‚¬s essential pilgrimage to Mt. Rushmore, South Dakota.
