Tropical Depression: a Surfer's Journey from Concrete Jungle to Empty Shores Tyler Trafas 1st edition

A surf story of two unlikely protagonists in search of perfect waves and empty shores. Deon is a Hawaiian and African American mixed surfer from the streets of inner city Los Angeles. He survived by using his wits and unique skills to dig his way out of the dirt, only to become a drifter and outcast. After a lifetime on the fringes, all he seeks is a harmonious place in the world. Jonah is the typical Orange County blonde beach boy, born with a silver spoon in his mouth and a surfboard under each arm. The two meet by chance at a pivotal point in life, and a treasure map of sorts entices them to begin a journey of surf, sex, secrets, drugs, decadence, deception and finally a taste of perfection on earth. However, they also learn that paradise comes at a cost.
