Publisher's Synopsis
This is the radical journey of an Italian surf punk studying Chinese in the late 1980s, fuelling surf adventures in the 1990s through work as a Mandarin interpreter, running Surf News magazine in the 2000s, tackling the Silver Dragon bore in 2007, and then moving the so-called 'People's Republic of Empty Waves' to explore the virgin breaks and the surf development in China. Along the way, Nik Zanella discovers an untold history of wave riding in dynastic culture.
