Review
"Lisa made us realize it was okay to be a girl and surf." Layne Beachley, seven-time world surfing champion "Lisa defined a new era for women's surfing and changed what men thought of how women surfed. She's the young girl that grew up too fast in one way, but couldn't wait to get there and never wanted to look back." Kelly Slater "Surfers will want to read it and female athletes will enjoy the story of a woman who made it to the top, but any teenager who ever felt trapped and alone by circumstance, any teen who knew her parents were never going to understand, that her life was on a deadend trajectory with high school fading into a crap job at some low-paying retail outlet, needs to know how Lisa Andersen made it. They need to know that you can do anything--anything--when you work your ever loving ass off at it." --BookSlut.com "Lisa made us realize it was okay to be a girl and surf."
