Description

If Jack Kerouac had lived in Australia, On The Road would be about Bob McTavish. He's our first ever career beach bum who rejected Menzies suburbia and the straight life, surfing up and down the coast, stealing petrol, shaping boards, utterly free.

Taking up where Bob's first book, StOKED, left off, this is the story of what happens when youth gives way to the responsibilities and discoveries of middle age, when things like family and religion and bringing in income clash head to head with a lifestyle built on no commitments. told in Bob's signature style, a mixture of mischief and poetry, MORE StOKED! is a homage to 70s surfing as well as a coming of age story. Accompanied by many never seen before photographs this is a beautiful gift book for surfers and armchair surfers alike.

Author Bio

As Nick Carroll once wrote, It's impossible to picture Australian surf history without Bob McTavish. One of the first Australians to adopt surfing as a lifestyle, McTavish worked to surf, hung out with legends of the sea and turned himself into a household name. Now in his 70s and running a succesful board business in Byron Bay, he still surfs daily.
