ABOUT THE BOOK: Co-authors Ritter (author of “Thai Stick”) and noted surf filmmaker Jack McCoy explode the myths around the early days of discovery at Grajagan (G-Land), one of the crown jewels of surfing. This mythical surf break would become the focus of entrepreneur Mike Boyum’s obsession to create the world’s first surf camp where the tiger-inhabited jungle meets the pristine sea. Mr. Ritter and Mr. McCoy’s verified account of the motley crew of surfers, drifters and scammers who first found their way to this surfing mecca is both compelling and powerful.
