Shaun was at the pinnacle of his professional and personal life – a former world-champion surfer, a successful entrepreneur and an inspirational speaker when his 15 year-old son, Mathew died in a tragic accident.

In a new chapter of his best-selling book, Surfer’s Code, he writes about the strength derived from his father, who survived a vicious shark attack at the height of a promising Olympic swimming career, to riding the world’s most dangerous waves. Shaun provides a personal account of facing life’s biggest challenges by looking forward to the future and the light that shines ahead.

You can catch Shaun in-person this week in NYC as he will be speaking and signing the new Code at two events in the city – June 8th at The Simple Space in the New York Gallery Building – and June 10th atSaturdays Surf NYC.
