Review
When Lorrin passed away in 1993,a good amount of the direct line to the heritage and charm of California surfing could have passed with him, It is our good fortune that his daughter Rose, sought to write a personal memoir of growing up with Dad, a surfing family's version of Life with Father. This is a charmingly crafted little book, full of endearing period photos and tales. -- Surfer's Journal, Winter 1997

There are not to many characters like Whitey anymore. I enjoyed reading about the early days of surfing, commerical fishing and outrigger paddling. I've experienced all three and reading about the early years was great ! Great stories

Can't wait for the screenplay! Once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down. The charm of this book is the way it's told--reflections of a childhood feeling loved, protected, nurtured and special regardless of the economic or social conditions. And if "a picture's worth 1,000 words" then the ones contained within these pages are infinitely wonderful. This book is a heartwarming account of the pioneering spirit that has sparked a worldwide surfing sensation -- surfer or not, it'll spark your zeal for family and seeking a life of fulfillment.

This book makes you feel as though you wished you lived during the romantic years of California. True tales of when discovery was a part of everyday survival and the antics of a charming individual and how his effects will live on in the hearts of many! A must read for the nostalgic at heart!
