Bite: Last Wave

'I sit there in the water. Watching it all. Feeling the sun on my face, feeling my feet in the gluggy sand . . . and I feel the warm gentle lull of water around me. I look back again. Across the blue sheen to the distance of the break. "Last wave," I say.'

Seventeen year-old Owl is between school and the rest of his life. He has the beach, the surf, his mates, a date with an absolute goddess, and Stink's eighteenth birthday to celebrate.

But the long hot days of hanging out and partying are about to end. Soon Owl will know how it really feels to lose something you love . . .
