Seal and his mates live in the remote coastal town of Brown’s Beach. Seal lives for the thrill of body boarding. Seal’s mate Angelo lives for fishing, especially the danger of shark fishing. Every three years a mysterious, almost secret event happens. Giant 12-foot waves start crashing onto the rocks and a 12-foot Bronze Whaler shark begins patrolling the surf. Both are referred to as ‘Goliath’ by the locals. Are the two connected in some strange way? Will Seal attempt the ride of his life? Will Angelo battle the monster?

SURFING GOLIATH is captivating story about the sea and all its wild mystery by acclaimed children’s book author Michael Hyde.
