World champion surfer and best-selling author Shaun Tomson releases The Code, a simple strategy for confronting everyday challenges and making positive, life-changing decisions. Shaun Tomson, best-selling author of The Code, will be hosting a book signing and conducting a short discussion of his new book at
Sun Diego Boardshops in Flower Hill Promenade (2500 via De La Valle #1001) on Tuesday October 29th at 6:30pm. 

 “All you need to turn hope into action is to write your promises down and say them out loud—to make a promise to no one but yourself. The Code is about many things—faith, courage, creativity, determination—but above all it’s about the 12 promises we make to ourselves about the future.”                                                                                           –Shaun Tomson

RECOMMENDATIONS:

“Shaun Tomson is a surfing hero, and he continues to inspire with words of wisdom and empowerment for future generations. He speaks from experience and has great advice about overcoming adversity and making good choices in your formative years.”-Tony Hawk – Skateboarding Icon

 All adolescents and their parents together would do well to read and ponder the inspiration and lessons contained in these pages.”-Michael Weitzman MD, Professor of Pediatrics and Psychiatry, The New York University School of Medicine

“Live The Code.”-Shaun White – Snowboard Olympic Champion

 “Although The Code sells itself as a self-help book for teens, it is a much richer mix than that. It’s part memoir, part surf rap, part homage. Above all, it’s a gut-punching journey of emotional resurrection. Shaun Tomson confronts the darkest kind of tragedy—the death of his own son—with grace, intelligence, and a historic kind of hopefulness. The lessons herein penetrate in unexpected ways.” –Steve Hawk, former editor Surfer Magazine

“I will” is a resounding mantra for youth of today.  This is a great piece of literature that I humbly suggest is read by our children and their parents.  Together they can and will change the world. –David Edelman MA, MBA, MFCC, President Board of Directors, Santa Barbara Boys and Girls Club.
