In the book, Harlowe rescues the half alien babe, Leucadia Mars, from the movie star Simon Bolt's capsized yacht after it was crushed by a giant wave at the Wedge in Newport Beach, Calfornia. See for yourself at the Wannasurf.com website (http://www.wannasurf.com/spot/North_America/USA/California/Orange_County/the_wedge/), that this surf spot is no out-of-this-world place. The Wedge really does exist and is as dangerous as the book portrays. Visit Daniel's Starr's informative website (http://home.new.rr.com/gemsandus/Wedge.htm) for even more photos of the Wedge and a link to an old Surfer Magazine story I know you'll enjoy.
