Description

Sullivan McLeod decided to combine his two favourite things - surfing and travelling - in a last-ditch attempt to get a career. His grand plan is to become a professional surfer. Sully's quest takes him to competitions in Indonesia, South Africa, England, France, Portugal, Spain, Brazil and Hawaii. Along the way, even though everything he owns is stolen and he gets locked up in a holding cell, he still manages to catch the wave of a lifetime. Luckily, his experience as a stand-up comedian helps him see the funny side of nearly everything.

Author Bio

Sullivan McLeod grew up with three brothers in Margaret River and still lives there (often in a tree house) when he's not travelling. He performed around the world as a stand-up comedian for seven years with gigs at Melbourne Comedy Festival, Edinburgh Festival, London Comedy Store, Improv Comedy Club (LA) and The Comedy Store (LA). Apart from being a restless vagabond, he has been a door-to-door salesman for a telecommunication company (Sydney), a spy for a Greek Restaurant (Rhodes), an assistant to a professor to check the originality of ideas (European Patent Office, Holland), a canvasser for dodgy solicitors to see if anyone wanted to sue their landlord (London), an audience member paid to laugh at lame jokes for live TV shows (Hollywood), a driver of a drilling rig without a truck driver's licence (Kalgoorlie), and a stooge for a magician in his street show in London. And he's been a professional surfer for nine months.
