Mr. Allen uses the metaphor of the sea, and its ebb and flow, to describe the Tao of lifes cycle. And he discovers within this unique reflection a new way to comfort and heal the Self from the trauma of death.

His long time interest in film brought him to write the screenplay adaptation with his brother in law Alex Carig in order to make Tao of Surfing into a full-length feature motion picture. Mr. Allen was initially inspired to write Tao of Surfing after his brotherhis surfing partnerdied from the complication of AIDS.
