pursuit of God.

As a special bonus, All Roads Lead to Dockweiler includes printed lyrics and a digital download of the album Golden Coast Summertime from Yonder Breaks, the author's alt-folk project. The music captures the spirit of the surf and complements the book's themes, offering another unique layer of inspiration and reflection.

Whether you're an avid surfer, spiritual seeker, or simply someone looking for a fresh perspective on life, All Roads Lead to Dockweiler offers a compelling blend of instruction, reflection, and devotion. Join the author on a transformative ride along Los Angeles' soulful shores and discover how the rhythm of the waves can align with the rhythm of your faith.

Industry Reviews

"Rick Bickerstaff 's book seamlessly weaves together the spiritual depth of devotionals with the exhilarating world of surf stories. As someone who appreciates the sentiment behind 'Pray for Surf,' I found this book to be not only a great read but also a meaningful journey. Just as we pray for waves, may this book inspire us to pray for more faith, more courage, and more meaningful connections with the divine as we navigate the waves of life. Remember, Jesus was a surfer too, but He walked the waves without a board, showing us the ultimate example of grace and courage."

-Israel Campbell, Pastor and Author of The Art of Sonship

"All Roads Lead to Dockweiler blends Rick's two core passions; surfing and spirituality. It is filled with entertaining stories of Rick's own adventures as well as super practical tips for any Angeleno navigating the local surfing scene, including how to avoid parking tickets!

-Jon Ritner, Author of Positively Irritating: Embracing a Post-Christian World to Form a More Faithful and Innovative Church

"A keen, precise, and always insightful meditation on surfing, faith and, actually life itself, with all its highs and lows and good days and bad. If you know the surf world in Southern California, this book is for you, and if you don't and want to learn, this book is an especially important primer on what to do and where to go. Oh, and hey, there's even a little skiing and skateboarding too. All Roads Lead to Dockweiler is a terrific guide to living on many levels."

-Jason Pomerance, Author of Celia At 39 and Los Angeles surfer

"Bickerstaff 's refreshing and intimate Angeleno chronicles captures a specific moment in time. I truly enjoyed this meditation on growth, artistry, and young adulthood. And I have a newfound appreciation for my favorite intersection of Sunset Blvd. at Sunrise."

-Jennica Schwartzman, Author, Actor and Film Producer
