The world separates doers from dreamers. This book Is for the rare few who are both.
The underdog journey of the two unlikely entrepreneurs who built Aruba’s beloved surf shop
What happens when you dare to step off the expected path? Two decades ago, a lawyer and a marine scientist quit the rat race to start a tiny surf shop on the shores of Aruba. Their audacious dream: to build a life they wouldn’t need a vacation from.
Few people thought they’d last a year.
Marcia Heath, a former Manhattan book editor and recovering corporate executive, spent three years investigating the riddle at the heart of Little Giant: How did two self-effacing retail rookies overcome the odds to build the Caribbean’s most beloved surf shop and a life most only dream about?
Featuring 50 color photographs of Aruba’s diverse beauty, Little Giant offers both a tropical escape and a blueprint for living with more joy and authenticity.
P.S. You don’t have to be an entrepreneur or surfer to love Little Giant, a deeply human story about reinventing yourself at any stage of life.

They only agreed to do interviews for Little Giant when Marcia promised no “claiming,” surf slang for uncool boasting.
“This book sounds like a great feel-good movie, something cooked up in Hollywood. Well, the ‘feel good’ is certainly there, but the story is very real. This book is about the dreamers in all of us.”
