About the book

The Sexy Ugly Beautifuls is a rock 'n' roll collection of ocean infused adventures, so named after the colourful characters and exotic destinations John discovered in his global quest to ride the perfect wave. These stories share John’s unique journey from youthful bodysurfer in South Africa to the thundering tubes of Hawaii’s North shore and on into the wilderness of Namibia and Mozambique.

What People Are Saying

This book brims with a wanderlust that drives John to hunt down waves in remote and unusual places. The result? A life of extraordinary adventures. A visceral turn of phrase - delivered with humour - takes us with him on this wild and crazy ride.
