Join surf writer Quinn Haber in his energetic pursuit of perfect waves in the northern Philippines, and read with eye-opening astonishment his valiant and often madcap attempts at courting a local girl there. His observations of the Philippines' far north present a compelling view of Southeast Asian agrarian life, encompassing everything from local traditions, to courtship mores, to exquisite country surf and tourist sites. At heart this is an unpardonable romance novel, unblushingly conventional, strait-laced and amusingly saccharine, and one that is frightfully surfing oriented. In this riveting adventure series set in the rustic agricultural vistas of 'Marcos Country' and horizons beyond, three authentic journals of surfing, romance, and culture shock are united into one great odyssey of discovery, The Volcano Trilogy. (*This updated version, new for 2020, contains a new epilogue and 150 stunning photographs).
