| Publisher Description: Ben is determined to learn to surf. In the rough North Atlantic waters near his home, only the tough can make it on the water. His first attempt is a disaster.

As Ben becomes more comfortable on his board he learns to face his fears and prove that he has what it takes to become a Wave Warrior. |
