This is the radical journey of an Italian surf punk studying
Chinese in the late 1980s, fuelling surf adventures in the 1990s
through work as a Mandarin interpreter., running Surf News magazine
in the 2000s, tackling the Silver Dragon river bore in 2007, and
then moving the so-called 'Peoples Republic of Empty Waves' to
explore the virgin breaks and the surf development of China. Along
the way, Nik discovers an untold history of wave riding in dynastic
culture. How do the breathing techniques of Daoism, the flow of
calligraphy and the pragmatic values of Confucianism relate to the
art of wave riding? Strangely, and quite brilliantly, this happens
in the oldest continuous civilisation in the world over 1200 years
ago.
