He remembers falling in love with the ocean at age four, learning to surf with his beach-hopping hippie parents. His parents were TV and film producers who were deeply liberal and encouraged Finnegan to devote himself to socially conscious causes and activities. Finnegan's life begins in southern California. The book is broken up into epochs of Finnegan's life, and the various experiences he has both in and out of the water. He thinks of surfing as an art, and his love of the sport as a search for the perfect wave, much the way an author searches for the perfect word or line. Finnegan observes that though surfing appears to be a simple sport to many, being a talented surfer requires a life-long obsession. In his memoir, Barbarian Days: A Surfing Life, William Finnegan, a writer for The New Yorker, writes about his experience surfing and how it has changed his life. ![]()
