Riding the Magic Carpet by Tom Anderson

The right-hand point at Jeffrey’s Bay is one of the surfing world’s most exciting finds, and from the age of twelve it had been my life’s purpose to surf there.

Jeffrey’s Bay, South Africa – the fantasy, the almost mythical waves every surfer dreams of riding once in their lifetime. But Tom wouldn’t go until he was ready. He would seek out surf spots from the virgin reef breaks of the Outer Orkneys to the temple point breaks of Indonesia, from the beautiful beaches of France to the wilds of Sri Lanka, a secret cove in Panama and a reflective spell in Costa Rica, all on a quest to ride the waves of his dreams.

Get on the road.

Get stoked.

Get in the water.
