When journalist Damien Cave brought his young family from New York to Sydney, the local customs of Nippers and surf live saving seemed hair-raisingly dangerous. But when they began to put their toes in the water, they discovered a completely different approach to risk that changed the way they lived their lives. A blend of memoir, history and interviews with some of the world's most respected psychologists, Into the Rip will change the way you and your family think about facing life's hazards.
