Description

The story starts in 1964 with three surfers and continues through to the millennium where over three hundred surfers at Saltburn by the Sea now enjoy the 'Sport of Kings', a reference to the Hawaiian kings, the true pioneers of surfing.

The book attempts to capture the spirit of surfing at Saltburn, an area that is far from exotic, yet boasts a rich surfing heritage and world class waves.

There is a sign on the pier that warns surfers not to jump off. On a big surf day, some surfers make their way to the end of the sturdy 206m structure and jump off like lemmings. They jump metaphorically into a sense of freedom.
