Book Reviews of Kelly Slater: For the Love
Book Review: Part inspiration, part heroism, part beautiful story...
Summary: 5 Stars
Kelly Slater is the male me - he works hard at his art, he lives inside his head a lot of the time and he's tryin' to do the hard work of figuring out his place in the world beyond surfing. For me, he's a thinking woman's dream - athletic and evolved. I'm happy that he's finally found the 'big love' of his life, someone who makes him feel calm and just better.
This book gives you more than a glimpse into the world of Championship surfing.It inspires you. I've bought this book for several of my friend's kids in the hope that it will steer them toward their own passion. Sometimes I just look at the pictures and pretend I'm an ocean dancer like Kelly. I really enjoyed his beautiful story...Mary Kennedy Eastham, Author, 'The Shadow of a Dog I Can't Forget' and the upcoming novel, 'Night Surfing'
