Walk on Water - E-book - ePub

Walk on Water is a three part look, from the microcosm of surfing, into the schism between the forces of professionalism on the credibility of amateurism that engulfed all culture in the early 1970's. Part two follows two young friends whose mode of operation can be summed up as Billy with the spirit of a hermit and Jake the archetype pirate. It is a one year slice of life on the North Shore of Oahu in Hawaii; post-Vietnam for Billy, post escaping Vietnam for Jake.
It is framed by part one and part three where in the contemporary world pirate adventurer Jake has been able to escape commitment, responsibility and love by e-booking his travel misadventures through Craig a time warped hippie accountant living in North Beach San Francisco. Balding with a sixty plus aching body Jake kite surfs into an Indonesian crater where he visits a beer ashram and is given one last chance to make a stand with Osley who's been hiding from the FBI for 30 years.
