All For A Few Perfect Waves: The Audacious Life and Legend of Rebel Surfer Miki Dora
A biography by David Rensin

After having ruled the pre-Gidget surf scene of the 50’s and 60’s, legendary surfer Miki Dora fled Malibu in search of untouched beaches and perfect waves. Thus launched a series of adventures that would catapult the enigmatic character into infamy. Dora lived off his reputation and questionable judgment, eventually leading the FBI on a seven-year chase around the world before serving a year in jail for credit card fraud.

All this is detailed in David Rensin’s biography All For A Few Perfect Waves: The Audacious Life and Legend of Rebel Surfer Miki Dora. Crafted from over 300 hundred interviews on four different continents, Rensin sets out to depict the life and times of this charismatic figure, a cinematic affair that continues to capture the imagination.

Rensin begins his book tour April 8, stopping at Diesel Books in Malibu on 4/13, followed by the Santa Monica Public Library on 4/13 and the UCLA campus on 4/27.
