Part sporting narrative, part manifesto for eco-friendly travel and part personal pilgrimage, join Martin in his search of perfect waves and the soul of surfing. Chasing the sun south from his home in Cornwall, bestselling author and environmental campaigner Martin Dorey follows in the footsteps of the pioneers who discovered Europe's best waves. On an epic journey that could take weeks by plane, train or campervan, Martin and his wife opt for the steady route across these 3000 miles - by eBike with their surf boards in tow. As an 'Average Joe' surfer Martin has revered and feared the waves in Europe since he was first slammed into the sand nearly forty years ago. Returning to form after a disastrous knee injury, he rekindles the freedom he felt on his first surfing adventure and rediscovers the people, land and seascapes of littoral Europe.
