In ‘Searching for Groundswell: A New Zealand Surfer's Road Trip', Kiwi surfer, Paul Hersey, sets out to find the country's most iconic waves and secret surf breaks. Along the 15,000 kilometres of New Zealand's coastline, from his surfing roots in Northland, right through to the freezing waters of Dunedin, and finding the hidden beaches in different parts of the South Island, Paul discovers what makes New Zealand surfing so special by meeting the original surf-bums and the best new young riders on his way and their shared quest for finding that moment that puts everything into perspective.

'Hersey's writing is smooth and relaxed, unafraid to be open about his own thoughts.'

'Searching for Groundswell offers perspective on where New Zealand surf culture is heading.'
