Book Description
Five best friends go coastal in this fabulously fun surfing series from Roxy Girl!
Luna, Rae, and Kanani travel to Florida's Sebastian Inlet to compete in a regional women's long-boarding competition. Upon arrival, Rae and Kanani both set their sights on James, a handsome yet reckless local surfer who flirts with both girls and manages to drive a wedge between them.
As the competitions are about to begin, an unexpected tropical storm brewing in the east starts heading directly toward the area. On impulse, James goes out to enjoy the huge waves created by the oncoming storm not realizing it's about to become a full-fledged hurricane. While the surfing event is put on hold indefinitely, Rae and Kanani are forced to wait out the storm together as they hope for James's safe return. Will this life-or-death situation convince the girls to put aside their differences? Or will their newfound rivalry threaten to wipe out their friendship once and for all?
It's all about a passion for the sport . . . and life.
