Paddle Back Out - Hardcover

by Scott Richardson (Author), Casey Tennyson (Editor)

Paddle Back Out reveals Lucky Streaks and Wipeouts in The Surf, The Party Circuit and The Legal System. Often dizzy from alcohol oblivion, a Florida waterman and lucky-star criminal lawyer navigates client and personal courtroom battles. The lore of The Sunshine State, the surf culture, the party circuit and the legal system set the backdrop for a compelling novel. The lure of substance abuse and adrenaline-filled adventure result in alternating lucky streaks and spills, some with serious legal issues. With a litigator's precision and a story-teller's spin, Author Scott L. Richardson writes in gritty detail about the main character Jack Wander's precarious life from the 1970s for a half century that vacillates between navigating calm glassy sets of waves and calamity-filled events and serious missteps. Not just in surfing, but in many hellraising, harrowing or heartbreaking situations, Jack crashes, overcomes it, shrugs it off, and paddles back out. Jack gets back.
