"No one cared about your resume in Paia, or that you hadn't brushed your hair all the way through, or that your truck had seen better days. In the town's hub, a ramshackle grocery store called Mana Foods, yoga instructors shopped alongside heavily pierced drifters, and pot farmers mingled with supermodels, and Brazilian kite surfers lined up at the deli counter behind Buddhist priests, and three-hundred-pound Samoan construction workers jostled in the aisles with movie stars, and everyone got along perfectly well."Excerpt from Sunsan Casey's book, The Wave: In Pursuit of the Rogues, Freaks and Giants of the Ocean.
pg. 95
