An easy, enjoyable read and an honest account of travelling with a young family - while trying to balance your personal interests. Hard not to think that the book skims the surface of an amazing trip because there is so much ground to cover. ( ) "Never let the truth get in the way of a good story" comes to mind reading this book. The setting - a surf writer taking his family on a year-long roadtrip along the Australian coast - is perfect stuff to dream about as a surfer with a day job that doesn't require him to travel the world breaks. The day-to-day hassles that make this trip a lot less epic than imagined unfortunately cause some pain reading the author's tale. While this is obviously done on purpose, it doesn't really work perfectly. It leaves a rather plain story of a family trip in an expensive 4WD (of which we read a little too much, to satisfy the sponsor) down under, reminding the reader that the grass isn't always greener on the other side. That in itself is an accomplishment not to discard. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
All surfers dream of shedding responsibilities and answering the siren's call of ocean swells. For most, it is an ideal that recedes as age advances - as family, career and provider fatigue threatens to overwhelm the wanderlust of youth. But what if you could defy the slow march of age? Shelve all your worldly pressures, pack up the family and a few trusty surfboards and hit the open road for the Great Australian surfing road trip? Inspired by the dreams of his youth, surf writer Tim Baker embarks on the Big Lap in search of the perfect wave and domestic bliss. Surfari documents the state of surf culture and our coastline, and the array of colourful characters who inhabit these parts, evoking all the magic, charm and challenges such a lifestyle entails. It is a story for anyone who has ever dreamed of an alternative to the busy, micro-scheduled existence of work, school, shopping and the daily drudge. The result is a lively, colourful account of what happens when you trade your life for another variety, and the delights and dangers that lay in wait when you dare to chase your dreams and follow another path.
