The first book of the series, Sulley the Seal Learns to Surf, is a beginner's guide to learning the boundaries that keep children safe while exploring such a vast world. Follow the journey of Sulley, an awkward teenage seal who has always been intrigued by the surfing world. As he turns 13, he begs his parents for a "gadget" that every teenager in North Shore is obsessed with: a surfboard. "Everyone has it but me, Dad!" Sound familiar?
Together with his parents, Sulley embarks on a whole new adventure, exploring the open ocean through surfing. His parents explain in great detail how to surf safely and how to deal with the dangers that come with it: addiction, predators, and the "dark zone" of the ocean.
