Description

Welcome to Paradise, Now Go to Hell is a gripping account of the high-stakes world of surfing on Oahu's North Shore. Surfer and former war reporter Chas Smith takes readers on a wild and unflinching journey into a lawless, violent, and adrenaline-soaked mecca.

For two months every winter, the North Shore transforms into a magnet for thrill-seekers from around the world, drawn by the Triple Crown competition. But as the crowds swell, so do the dangers, and Smith reveals the darker side of this idyllic golden world.

This is a story of class, race, power, money, and crime, set against the stunning backdrop of one of the most beautiful places on earth. A breathtaking blend of crime and adventure, Welcome to Paradise, Now Go to Hell is a compelling look at the allure and wickedness of a world that's both beautiful and brutal.
