Big Wednesdays
On July 20th, join co-authors Clay Marzo and Robert Yehling for Big Wednesdays at the California Surf Museum.
Clay Marzo and Robert Yehling will be holding a discussion and signing of their book, Just Add Water: A Surfing Savant's Life with Asperger's.
Robert Yehling said in an interview with Stab Magazine, “I knew of Clay's surfing greatness, and had been following him off and on since he won the NSSA Men's Nationals in 2006 with a perfect score. Clay always stood out to me because of his incredible surfing ability, his originality, and the way he didn't march to anyone else's beat. I particularly love how he's such a great above the wave surfer. His aerials, re-entries, and positioning for those re-entries is off the charts. Then he throws down his reverse throw tails and we all wonder how he still has a functioning lower back. Like everyone else, I heard of the Asperger's diagnosis when I watched the documentary Just Add Water.”
