We find ourselves in a skating renaissance, with more people heading out to use skate parks and practice on sidewalks than ever before. There's so much to love about skating, from the heart-warming tales of people brought out of loneliness by their fellow skaters, to those who find solace in the skate park and those who were raised by skating parents. There's a lot to learn and love about skating culture and the people who make up this amazing community. In this fictional tale centred around a group of young skaters in the American Midwest, AJ Dungo and Brandon Dumais explore why skating is so essential to so many and encapsulates the highs and lows of skating culture.

In this visually arresting graphic novel, surfer and illustrator AJ Dungo remembers his late partner and the shared love of surfing that endured throughout their difficult times. Dungo explores the beauty and complexity of his relationship with his partner as they face her prolonged battle with cancer. With a passion for surfing at the forefront of this narrative, Dungo intertwines his own story with those of the great heroes of surf in a rare work of non-fiction that is as moving as it is fascinating.
