Destined for fame, Surfer Dude is known to many who looked
for this colt while crossing the bridge to Assateague Island
and the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge. The story of
this beloved wild stallion, who cared for his herd of mares
over a lifetime on Chincoteague Island, is beautifully
illustrated in vivid detail, from his distinctive blue eye
to his white star and stripe, silver mane and tail, and
chocolatey chestnut coat. His passing at the ripe age of
twenty-three in the spring of 2015 touched people from
across the United States and beyond. But the spirit of his
gentle nature and the way he loved his foals lives on. His
spirit lingers in breezes that ruffle the island grasses and
in the sunbeams that warm the island ponies, and is
celebrated in this story of love and the circle of life.
