Kring had been surfing in another day, listed on no calendar,with no clock, a day fragile and of unspeakable beauty. It's been a summer to remember for Kring, a twenty-something spending a season on Long Beach Island with his friends. Already famous for surfing a wave he never surfed, he's entered into a rivalry with one of the world's top surfers, and joined an artists colony whose only creative talent is for partying.

It's a story of surfing and love, extraordinary sunsets and strange dreams, wild parties, and the eternal quest for the meaning of life after Labor Day.
