About the Author:
Mark Kreidler is a sportswriter and columnist who frequently contributes to ESPN.com and ESPN: The Magazine. He is the author of Four Days to Glory and Six Good Innings and lives in Davis, California.
Review:
A fascinating, insidery look at what happens when a commercial entity, Mavericks Surf Ventures, attempts to turn a monstrous surf break into a big-bucks brand. . . . Read it now before Curtis Hanson s Gerald Butler starring, apostrophe-deleting movie Mavericks hits theaters next year. "
