Peter Kreeft on the Surfboard

From the man who brought us great works of apologetics, refutations of relativism, and A Summa of the Summa , comes I Surf, Therefore I Am: A Philosophy of Surfing . Kreeft’s new book is released tomorrow, but here’s sneak peak at the introduction:

Non-Introduction

This book is for three kinds of people:
1. for curious non-surfers, it is a confession;
2. for surfers, it is a manifesto;
3. for wannabe surfers, it is a practical beginners’ handbook.

Why should you read this book?

Because surfing makes you so ridiculously happy that it makes you happy just to read about it, and it makes me happy just to write about it.

If that’s not a good enough reason, go enjoy your misery.

Good introductions should be short.
