520    "From the best freestyle surfer in the world, an inspiring
       and moving memoir about his ascendance to the top of the 
       surfing world while struggling for most of his young life 
       with undiagnosed Asperger's syndrome Clay Marzo has an 
       almost preternatural gift with a surfboard. From his first
       moments underwater (he learned to swim at two months old) 
       to his first ventures atop his father's surfboard as a 
       toddler, it was obvious that Marzo's single-minded focus 
       on all things surfing was unique. But not until late in 
       his teens, when this surfing phenom was diagnosed with 
       Asperger's syndrome, did the deeper reasons for his 
       obsession--and his astonishing gift for surfing--become 
       clear. Just Add Water is the remarkable story of Marzo's 
       rise to the top of the pro surfing world-- and the 
       personal trials he overcame in making it there. Marzo 
       endured a difficult childhood. He was a colicky baby who 
       his mother found could be soothed only with water. Later, 
       as he entered school, his undiagnosed Asperger's made it 
       tough for him to relate to his peers and fit in, but his 
       relationship with the wave was elemental. Marzo could 
       always turn to surfing, the only place where he truly felt
       at peace. Unflinching and inspiring, Just Add Water is a 
       brave memoir from a one-of-a-kind surfing savant who has 
       electrified fans around the world with his gift and whose 
       story speaks boldly to the hope and ultimate triumph of 
       the human spirit"--|cProvided by publisher.
