In 1996, Allan Weisbecker sold his home and possessions, loaded his dog and surfboards into his truck, and set off in search of his long-time surfing companion, Patrick, who had vanished into the depths of Central America.

This rollicking memoir chronicles his quest from Mexico to Costa Rica to unravel the circumstances of Patrick's disappearance. Weisbecker intimately describes the people he befriended, the bandits he evaded, and the waves he caught and lost en route to finding his friend.

Join Weisbecker on this adventurous journey, exploring themes of friendship, duty, and the pursuit of paradise.
