Well, lads, it's only a wee bit of drowning, no?: A brand new surfing memoir book review

from The Wipeout Weekly - Surf Podcast

What happens when a former Obama speechwriter takes up surfing… and nearly drowns? In this episode, I review It's Only Drowning by David Litt, a brutally honest and unexpectedly funny memoir about learning to surf, battling depression, and getting help from the last person you'd expect—his daredevil brother-in-law. I have never written a book review before, so this may be a tad unsual.
