Rockaway is the riveting, joyful story of one womans reinventionbeginning with Cardwell taking the A Train to Rockaway, a neglected spit of land dangling off New York City into the Atlantic Ocean. She finds a teacher, buys a tiny bungalow, and throws her notoverlyathletic self headlong into learning the inner workings and rhythms of waves and the muscle development and coordination needed to ride them.As Cardwell begins to find her balance in the water and out, superstorm Sandy hits, sending her into the maelstrom in search of safer ground. In the aftermath, the community comes together and rebuilds, rekindling its bacchanalian spirit as a historic surfing community, one with its own quirky codes and surf culture. And Cardwells surfing takes off as she finds a true home among her fellow passionate longboarders at the Rockaway Beach Surf Club, living out the most joyful path through life.Rockaway is a stirring story of inner salvation sought through a challenging physical pursuitand of learning to accept the idea of a complete reset, no matter when in life it comes.
