The audacious life and legend of rebel surfer Miki "Da Cat" Dora.
Despite not being the "authorised" rendition, David Rensin's book is the definitive biography of surfing folklore's classic anti-hero Miklos Dora Jr.
Over the years Dora's place has slid from Malibu legend to criminal to bigot and back again. Rensin draws on extensive interviews with over 300 people who knew Dora and first hand experience as his close friend to uncover not only the legend of Da Cat but more critically the reality which propped that legend up.
