Wipeout by Aurora Real de Asua

Description

For her seventy-seventh birthday, Gary knows exactly what she wants: to go surfing. There’s only one problem: She’s never touched the water. But with the help of a hot-rod teenage surf instructor and her two best friends, Gary’s ready to conquer the unknown. Taking place on surfboards in the Pacific Ocean, Wipeout is a septuagenarian surf comedy about what it takes to hang ten.
