Surfer in the White House (and Other Salty Yarns) is a collection of hilarious and insightful experiences of a life-long surfer, drawn into politics by his love for the ocean. People Magazine said, "'Birdlegs' is a Righteous Dude." Vanity Fair called Caughlan is a "Golden State Eco Warrior." His adventures include surfing with sharks, hopping freight trains and unconventional media methods of promoting environmental causes with celebrities like Robert Redford, Paul Newman, and William Shatner. There are vivid, first-person accounts of working with President Jimmy Carter. He used his pragmatic media savvy for a who's who of American Senators and Congressional Representatives - Dianne Feinstein, Jay Rockefeller, Jackie Speier, Pete McCloskey, and Leo Ryan. As president of the Surfrider Foundation, he brought surfer muscle to battles for coastal protection. This book shows that a life of activism can be both rewarding and fun. If surfers can make a difference, anybody can.

Surfing came to the central Oregon coast in the early 1960s. Mostly young boys from Newport and the Agate Beach area took to the waves, without wetsuits or leashes, and taught themselves how to surf in the forbidding cold waters. Eventually forming the Agate Beach Surf Club, they discovered other surfing communities along the Oregon coast. With no modern-day technology to help them, they traveled the rugged Oregon coast in search of good and accessible surf spots. Fifty years later, the surfing culture has grown and evolved, including both genders, kite, wind, stand-up-paddle, and big wave surfing. What hasn't changed is the unique and challenging environment of the Oregon coast. Geography, the weather, and the cold water still remain the biggest challenges. In the face of all this, the surfing community grows and continues to prosper.
