"It started as a joke and then got serious. Sort of."
 
This true story is about Australian Surfer Sullivan McLeod who decided to live his dream and become a professional surfer. With hardly any preparation he signs in for the World Qualifying Series to compete with surfers from all over the world. The result is a fascinating story about the adventures and the hard life on the WQS Tour, far away from the glamorous life of stars like Kelly Slater or Mick Fanning...

Besides all the crazy adventures that Sully experienced this book gives a great impression about the other side of professional surfing, where all the surfers fight for the essential prize money to pay the next flight, food, accommodation or the fee of the next event. But still there is enough space on the tour for friendship and a hell lot of fun. Former stand-up comedian Sullivan McLeod tells his story about his insane quest to become a professional surfer with a big pack of self-mockery, that makes it incredible funny and most enjoyable to read…

You get the book for about AUD 25,- / € 15,- at Allen & Unwin.
