In 1996, Allan Weisbecker sold his home and his possessions, loaded his dog and surfboards into his truck, and set off in search of his long-time surfing companion, Patrick, who had vanished into the depths of Central America. In this rollicking memoir of his quest from Mexico to Costa Rica to unravel the circumstances of Patrick's disappearance, Weisbecker intimately describes the people he befriended, the bandits he evaded, the waves he caught and lost en route to finding his friend. In Search of Captain Zero is, according to Outside magazine, "A subtly affecting tale of friendship and duty. [It] deserves a spot on the microbus dashboard as a hell of a cautionary tale about finding paradise and smoking it away." In Search of Captain Zero: A Surfer's Road Trip Beyond the End of the Road is a Booksense 76 Top Ten selection for September/October.

A beautiful wave
I'm reluctant to give any book five stars and maybe I'll downgrade this in future, but for now it's the best read I've found for years. Weisbecker is a hugely entertaining author who has put some incredible experiences down on paper. You don't need to surf to enjoy it ('though you may get a little more from it), I laughed out loud a lot but also got a couple of jolts recognising parallels with my own life although I've lived a hell of a lot more sheltered one than Weisbecker! Hopefully his new book will get out of litigation and on sale soon as this has left me hungry for more. Buy it now!

Great read on my camping trip!
In Search of Captain Zero" is an enthralling read that takes you on an extraordinary journey unlike any other. This book is a captivating blend of adventure, self-discovery, and the enduring bonds of friendship. The author's quest to find his long-lost friend, Captain Zero, unfolds against the backdrop of the mesmerizing surf culture of Central America. His narrative is richly detailed, filled with vivid descriptions of the landscapes, cultures, and people he encounters along the way. What I particularly loved about this book is its heartfelt exploration of the human spirit. It's more than just a surfing odyssey; it's a deep dive into the complexities of relationships and the pursuit of a meaningful life. The writing style is engaging and evocative, making it easy to get lost in the pages. As the story progresses, it not only takes you on a geographical adventure but also on an introspective journey. This book is a must-read for anyone who loves travel, adventure, and stories about the power of friendship. "In Search of Captain Zero" is a beautifully written, inspiring tale that stays with you long after the final page.
