Alex Wade
Alex Wade (born 1966) is a British writer, freelance journalist and media lawyer.
==Career==
Wade is the author of ''Wrecking Machine: A Tale of Real Fights and White Collars'' and ''Surf Nation: In Search of the Fast Lefts and Hollow Rights of Britain and Ireland''. He has also contributed chapters to ''The Road Less Travelled'', ''Seaside: Discover Britain's Best Beaches'' and ''Countryside: Discover the Best of Rural Britain'' (2010).
Wrecking Machine, chronicling Wade's fall from grace as a media lawyer and subsequent redemption through white collar and amateur boxing, was critically acclaimed, described by ''The Sunday Times'' as "a superb book..." whose success "is down to its honesty and irresistible storytelling" and "intelligent, articulate and brutally honest" by ''The Daily Telegraph''.
''Surf Nation'', a literary odyssey around the surf scene of Britain and Ireland, was well received by the UK surf media and national press alike. ''Huck'' magazine〔()〕 said it was "addictive... Blows out of the water any doubts about the thriving surf culture that's taken root on the northern fringes of Europe", while The Surfer's Path said that "with his easy writing style and neat observation, Wade paints an insightful picture of a country that, liberated by neoprene, has grown a huge, pulsing, passionate surfing heart." Elsewhere in the surf media, Carve found Surf Nation "totally engrossing" and Fins magazine said: “Alex Wade has succeeded in a first – the first Brit bit of surf lit”. Meanwhile, among the national media, ''The Observer'' said: “You probably won't read another book on surfing this year, but even if you do, Surf Nation would be the best”, and The Times opined that Wade “has produced a work in the vein of Tom Wolfe’s The Pump House Gang that is passionate, benign, informative and gripping.”
