Surfing in Heaven — Outrageous thought… or is it?
In the sun-soaked surf culture of 1960s Southern California, Mike’s youth was shaped by the ocean and his father, a Malibu surfing pioneer and WWII veteran. Mike embarked on a lifelong quest for the perfect wave—until an unexpected encounter with Heaven changed everything.
“Surfing in Heaven” is a true story that chronicles Mike’s journey as his love for surfing collided with the frenetic rise of Silicon Valley in the 1990s. He navigated the pressures of a fast-paced career while striving to maintain a delicate balance between work, family, and a newfound Christian faith. The opportunities were endless—but so was the work!
Written as an outreach to surfers and seekers who don’t yet know Jesus, this memoir invites readers to discover that the greatest wave of all begins when we surrender to the Creator of it all (Genesis 1:1).
For anyone who dreams about surfing perfect waves—this book is for you.
