When a paramedic on a late shift comes across a dead teenager, it brings back a rush of adolescent memories. Breath charts the stories of Piklet and Loonie as they push the boundaries as boys often do, pitting themselves against Western Australia's biggest surf. A story of isolation, lust, salt and growing up.

Down under coming of age story of two surfer boys and their relationship with their mysterious mentor and his limping American wife. Storyline was OK and I learned some things about surfing.

This book was definitely not what I thought it was going to be, but I appreciate that. It's easy to see why it's one of the most adored surfing books out there. Definitely one of the more unique books I've read.
