Nobody goes in the shop and nothing is sold there.
Local street gangs The Hammers and The Nails pause just enough from from their feuding to laugh at the Surfman and his seriously weird behaviour. A local boy caught between both gangs and an uncertain future watches with growing curiosity and relates the tale. The Surfman single-handedly demolishes the derelict factory next to his shop and builds a giant artificial wave machine. Once the Hammers and The Nails discover the thrill of surfing this wave they call a truce, and the future begins to look brighter. This is a carefully shaped and moodily illustrated moral tale for youngsters that is unashamedly centred around the dilemmas they can often face in their early teens.
