AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Peter Troy's travels are the stuff of surf legend. An original and influential figure in the early days at Bells Beach, Troy left Australia in 1963 and roamed the planet with a surfboard under one arm, from Europe to Hawaii, South America to Africa, introducing surfing to Brazil and discovering untold perfect waves, like Nias off the coast of Sumatra. He was a pioneer, comparing lugging his balsa longboard around the globe to travelling with a grand piano. He documented every step of his remarkable journey in letters home, which remained undiscovered until his untimely death in 2008. This is his story.' (Publisher's blurb)
