Never Lose the Wave: Never Lose the Wave Publications

"Never losing the wave means that, no matter where you end up in life, there is always going to be a wave. Sometimes you have to be patient and wait for the perfect set; other times you have to take risks, even if you may have a major wipeout."

Surfing wasn't just a sport to Kristina's dad. It was his source of connection and inspiration. But when she was fifteen, he took his own life. From her early years in Corpus Christi, Texas, amidst a close family confounded by her father's alcohol addiction, to her struggles during college and eventual joys, Kristina recounts the resources that supported her through ongoing and everchanging grief. As this memoir dives deep into the questions, stigma, and complexity of losing a loved one to suicide, it vividly explores the resilience that comes when you learn to ride the wave.
