Daniel Duane
A wondrous, uproarious, and surprisingly informative account of a year spend surfing, Caught Inside marks the arrival of an exuberant new voice of the outdoors. This remarkable narrative of Daniel Duane’s life on the water is enhanced by good-humored explanations of the physics of wave dynamics, the intricate art of surfboard design, and lyrical, sharp-eyed descriptions of the flora and fauna of the Pacific wilderness. From Captain Cook and Mark Twain to Robinson Jeffers and Jack London, from portraits of famous (and infamous) surfers to an analysis of Gidget’s perverse significance, Duane expertly uncovers the myths and symbols bound up in one of our most vibrant and recognizably American subjects.

Great read!

The narrator sounds like a high school kid trying to read Shakespeare . Bad cadence , choppy wording and just sounds totally flat, I wish someone else would have narrated such a great book. Listening to Barbarian days prior to this made it sounds very amateurish narration . I got spoiled by William Finnegan incredible narration in Barbarian days. The story is great though. Just terrible narrator
Great story, terrible audio narrator

What started out as a hobby turned into an obsession— and it's no lie to say Duane pulled more men in with him, than Neptune could've ever imagined. Caught Inside became the definitive surfing bible of the modern middle class surfing generation.
Duane takes his listeners into the "lineup" to experience the localism, the stink-eye, the beauty and danger of surfing.
Coming from a VERY outside place, Duane understands there's an "inside" place to be, and he gets guided in to find his own bearings— a story any man, in or out of the water, will relate to.
