Looking for Something to Find: A History of Surfing in Cornwall

by Johnny Manetta, Neil Wernham (Illustrator), Maxie Longden (Illustrator)

To those involved in surfing culture, Johnny Manetta and Tris Surfboards are legendary. Born in London, far from the ocean, Johnny was a Mod. As advocated by Jimmy, The Who's protagonist in Quadropohenia, Johnny did want to be someone, he did jump in the sea and he never looked back. This is the inspirational story of one ordinary man's extraordinary life from surfing the Badlands, and all around the world, for more than fifty years, to building his beautiful home in a secluded Cornish valley and the many wild escapades along the way.
