For twenty years, Miki "Da Cat" Dora was the king of Malibu surfers--a dashing, enigmatic rebel who dominated the waves, ruled his peers' imaginations, and who still inspires the fantasies of wannabes to this day. And yet, Dora railed against surfing's sudden post-Gidget popularity and the overcrowding of his once empty waves, even after this avid sportsman, iconoclast, and scammer of wide repute ran afoul of the law and led the FBI on a remarkable seven-year chase around the globe in 1974. The New York Times named him "the most renegade spirit the sport has yet to produce" and Vanity Fair called him "a dark prince of the beach." To fully capture Dora's never-before-told story, David Rensin spent four years interviewing hundreds of Dora's friends, enemies, family members, lovers, and fellow surfers to uncover the untold truth about surfing's most outrageous practitioner, charismatic antihero, committed loner, and enduring mystery.

Monica Matterson
R988 Discovery Miles 9 880 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

A Capful of wind, AKA "Useless Information for Aspiring Skippers" charts the author's progress from her first dubious adventures in a leaky tub to trying for her Yachtmaster Certificate. Despite everything that the elements and even fellow seafarers throw at her, Monica Matterson wittily recalls a wealth of fascinating and usually hilarious tales of misadventure on, in, and sometimes under the sea - including pubs that vanish by dawn, how stolen planks from a building site save the day in a storm, and much 'mud shuffling'. The book includes over 60 original paintings and drawings by the author that bring the cleverly observed humour throughout this autobiography to life.
