The Pathfinder Diaries

Car chase in Colombia. Police extortions in Mexico. Tenacious border caddies in Central America. Terrorism in the Guatemala. Century swell in the Caribbean. Twenty-six border crossings on expired Californian tags. These were just some of the events author Cory Belyea a gringo and his trusty Pathfinder encountered on a quest that carved 22000 miles out of the Americas on the way down to Tierra Del Fuego Argentina. For what? The waves the romance the adventure? The road trip became a testament of how far a surfer would go to honor a fallen friend chasing down the dream. In The Pathfinder Diaries Belyea shares a wild life-altering journey. Writing with candor and from the heart his words uncover the beauty and injustices of the American continent. In his short stories his love for the ocean languages and the people of Latin American shines bright. Praise for The Pathfinder Diaries“Hard to put a masterpiece into such little words.
