Publisher Description
Sometimes life’s waves knock you down; other times, life might seem to sweep you along powerless. But the choice is always yours to swim back up to the light. Legendary world champion surfer Shaun Tomson and international best-selling poet-philosopher Noah benShea join forces to offer you insight on a path of purpose, hope, and faith. This timely guidebook alternates between Tomson’s inspiring experiential essays and benShea’s spiritual commentary that lift the soul.
After losing his son, Tomson walked the bitter road of loss and crossed from darkness into the light. The Surfer and the Sage addresses the 18 relentless, breaking waves of life, from loss and aging to relationships and depression, and guides you to transformation. It is not a list of rules to follow that guarantee success, health, or wealth, but rather a collection of advice from two guides who have traveled far and wide and suffered deeply, but still look forward to tomorrow with faith and hope.

Shaun Tomson is much, much more than a mere surfer. I sensed this in 1986 when I met him, my surf hero, at an autograph signing event. Even then I sensed that he was imbued with a wisdom far beyond his years. He’s now reached that age when it’s most fitting for him to widely share it. As for Noah, I was previously unfamiliar with him but was pleasantly surprised by the wisdom he too shares in this wonderful book. This is a book that’s not just for surfers. Still, it’s desperately needed in the generally mindless world of surfing. Surfers, share this book as an antidote to that mindlessness.
