This is an insider memoir about Yvon Chouinard, founder of the Patagonia brand, written by Bill Stratton, a longtime neighbor of Yvon, surfing and climbing partner, and friend of Yvon. Bill was asked by Malinda Chouinard, Yvon's wife, many years ago, "Willum' when are you going to write a book about Yvon?" This is the fulfillment of that request, an uncompromising, first person accounting of a man who accepted exceptional challenges as commonplace, made enemies and friends on as grand a scale as his unbounded ambition. Bill Stratton is indeed the right person for the job of telling this story, because, as many have contended, "No one knew Yvon better, what he was, or what he became."

Bend to Baja documents a surf-inspired road trip along the West Coast of North America. In February 2005, a group of world-renowned surfers left Ventura, California, for Bend, Oregon. From Oregon, the crew worked its way south to the tip of Baja, looking for waves and traveling in a pickup truck converted to run on alternative fuel sources: veggie oil and biodiesel. Jeff Johnson, along with Chris, Keith, and Dan Malloy, experienced a road trip centered on surfing, climbing, and camping. Along the way, they met an array of characters, found rich, road-weathered experiences, and endured setbacks, all against the backdrop of a captivating ocean. Bend to Baja chronicles their journey and a nontraditional lifestyle centered on the search for waves.
