"A homespun homage to a modern-day folk hero...you'll see why St. Martin's decided to take Eddie nationwide--and why it's attracting loving glances from Hollywood." --Brad Wieners, Outside Magazine "Splendid...clear and fascinating." --Greg Ambrose, San Francisco Chronicle "Enlightening...an impressive history...of surfing...of Hawaiian culture both at home and across the world." --Matt Walker, Surfing Magazine "Eddie Aikau's life is a story waiting to be told, and it could not have been told any better than in Stuart Coleman's Eddie Would Go. This is a bestseller in the same way as the The Perfect Storm." --Peter Cole, Big-Wave Surfing Pioneer "It's amazing the impact Eddie had on the surfing world and Hawaii. It touches the community at a real grass-roots level." --Kelly Slater, World Champion Surfer "A meaningful biography of a surfing hero...extraordinary." --Terry Rogers, The San Diego Union-Tribune "Coleman, a surfer himself, does an admirable job of de-mystifying this remarkable man." --Terry Tomalin, The St. Petersburg Times "Fantastic...a treat to read." --Mark Cunningham, Honolulu Weekly
