It’s impossible to recommend this book more highly. ~ Derek Rielly, Beach Grit

This is one of the most significant stories in surfing history, the discovery of a new spirit in the heart and soul of all who surf. One whose heart beats inside the jungle.~ Jam, Monster Children

FIRST EDITION ALMOST OUT OF PRINT

The verified and authentic origin story of G-Land as told by Mike Ritter & Jack McCoy.

Co-authors Mike Ritter (co-author of Thai Stick) and noted surf filmmaker Jack McCoy explode the myths around the early days of discovery at Grajagan – 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 camp where the tiger-inhabited jungle meets with the pristine sea. Ritter & McCoy’s verified account of the motley crew of drifters and scammers who first found their way to this surfing mecca is both compelling and powerful. This book will delight and excite all surfers and adventurers who prefer to venture off the beaten track.
