Description
The Raw Surfer – Saltwater for the soul is written by one of our own. Dr Robert Laurier has opened up about his mental health in this book and has described how finding a connection with the ocean and a ragtag bunch of surfers picked him up from rock bottom.
“Anyone can catch a wave, but not everyone surfs.”
In this book, Robert starts off with journal entries he’d scribbled on the beach, in his car, on the streets and in the tent he lived in. He then dives deep into his philosophical thoughts on surfing and mental health, tied back to his research into publications and peer-reviewed articles. He ends with some short interviews with other surfers, and a Guide to Surfing for Beginners where he takes people through exercises and information on technique and safety to master the art of surfing.
