Tony Hawks, the Sunday Times bestselling author and comedian, offers downright silly advice to American skateboarders who have mistaken him for their hero, Tony Hawk
Stoked! Is an inspiring true story about courage, determination and the power of dreams. Chris Bertish was a skinny little kid from Cape Town when he started surfing with his brothers. Fiercely driven and constantly pushing his boundaries, Chris was not content with conquering 'ordinary' big waves.
The author, one of the first to conquer the huge waves off northern California known as Mavericks, recognized that the kid "had a vision." This title tells the story of their father-son bond and of the challenges that made each of them who they were-surf legends, and the subject of the upcoming film Chasing Mavericks.
