Kem Nunn is a third-generation Californian novelist, surfer, and magazine and television writer who lives in southern California. He has been described as "the inventor of surf-noir" for his novels' dark themes, political overtones, and surf settings. He is the author of six novels, including his 1984 seminal debut surf novel Tapping the Source, which was a finalist for the National Book Award. Tapping The Source inspired the 1991 movie Point Break, and its 2015 remake. Nunn's novel, Tijuana Straights, received a Los Angeles Times Book Prize.
