I believe the writing leaves a lot to be desired but the pics are meant to be class.
Miki Dora on the life of a surfer

That would be a shame, there is such a great story there.

Same here I though Styceks writting was excellent, but there wasnt a great photo selection, there is some great Dora shots in the Leory Grannis book

We will agree to differ then. I thought the writing was poor in general, and I found the prose vain to the extreme. It makes September look unpretentious in comparison.

I think you have to be int he right frame of mind for it. I was all ready to get the low down on his life, get a good understanding of his life, and it was a struggle.

Then again, I recently reread Cosmic Banditos and enjoyed it far more this time around.

Saw something in Surfer mag last month about the book. They mentioned that a film Co. are intrested in the rights to the book and they're talking about DiCaprio being involved!!
