Consider Barbarian Days by William Finnegan. Recommended by 8 sources.
“Finnegan writes a travel-stamped memoir that spends long stretches inside surf sessions, travel logistics, and the social worlds that grow around a lifetime of chasing waves. What works best is precise, sensory description — salty air, board mechanics, and the patience of practice — which makes the reader feel present in each outing. The main limitation is length and repetition: chapters can linger over technical detail and circuitous anecdotes, which will test patience if you prefer forward-moving plot.”
