Steve Hawk is the former editor of Surfer, Sierra, and Stanford Business magazines, and of surfline.com. His first book, Waves, explores the science and aesthetics of ocean waves. He is currently co-writing a book with his brother, Tony Hawk, about the history and culture of skateboarding. He lives near Half Moon Bay, California, where he spends as much time as possible frolicking in the ocean. Nearshore is his first novel.
“This is an exceptionally thoughtful literary thriller, beautifully rendered against the backdrop of a world its author very clearly knows and loves. In the depth and breadth of its story, in the lyricism of its prose, Nearshore will surely establish Steve Hawk as a writer to be reckoned with.” —Kem Nunn, author of Tapping the Source, Dogs of Winter, and Tijuana Straits “The deadly whirlpool of wealth, amorality, and nuclear terror that animates the plot of Nearshore feels timely in a thousand uncomfortable ways, but author Steve Hawk also gives us an unlikely and unforgettable hero who rises above it all. This is a spectacular debut novel by an extraordinary talent.” —Martin J. Smith, author of Combustion “A smart, fun, thrilling read. The characters pop and the story moves like a barreling full-speed point wave.” —Matt Warshaw, author of The Encyclopedia of Surfing, The History of Surfing, and Mavericks: The Story of Big-Wave Surfing
