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."

  • "disjointed" would be too kind a word for this; interesting enough collection of stories (mostly about drugs and surfing), but no continuity or real order

  • Interesting at times, a good summer read for anyone interested in surfing, that's for sure. Pretty damn self-indulgent and egotistical though. Especially the very last few pages - I laughed in the author's cocky face.
