Morning Glass: The Adventures of Legendary Waterman Mike Doyle

On a calm winter morning, former surfing champion Mike Doyle rows his dory off the coast of San Jose del Cabo for a day of fishing. A violent shift in weather, and a disastrous mistake, leave him helplessly adrift, fifteen miles from shore, in a howling wind. During those lonely hours of truth, Doyle looks back on his extraordinary life and the fascinating people who have filled it.

"Eccentric characters shuffle and strut in and out of Doyle's tale and breathe life into this unusual history of surfing." - Honolulu Star Bulletin

"Full of humor and inside stories that capture the youthful joy and innocence of the formative years of the California beach culture." - San Diego Union-Tribune

"Morning Glass is a thoughtful portrait of a man enthralled with the ocean." - Orange County Register

"Mike has an incredible story to tell and every surfer who believes surfing is more than just a hobby must read it.â€ - Surfing Magazine

"He came from a period when surf heroes were individuals, each with a distinct personality and character.... I suspect his revelations may ruffle a few feathers." - Steve Pezman, Surfer's Journal
