David Flanagan came from a long line of seafarers and thought
learning to surf would be easy, despite the fact he was scared of
the ocean and fast approaching middle age. As a journalist living
in an island community, he had intended to write a light-hearted
account of his progress towards surfing nirvana, but instead found
himself facing danger, doubt and the spectre of childhood
bereavement in an often wild and unwelcoming sea. Meanwhile on
land, and back riding a skateboard after a 30-year-gap, David found
himself facing bemusement, ridicule and the wrath of the medical
profession. But his decision to turn back the clock to the 1970s
would also prove remarkably life changing and, occasionally,
utterly catastrophic. Warm, funny, touching and honest - with a
strong dose of adrenalin - Board explores loss, ego, fear and
fatherhood, charting a quest for inner peace against a backdrop of
thundering Atlantic waves. At its heart, Board is an inspiring
story about accepting some limitations and overcoming others, while
completely ignoring common sense and social convention.
