A childhood friend whom Miles Curren used to spend a great deal of time surfing with in the summers. Justin is the son of Mr. Roberts, whose newfound success as an abalone fisherman allows Justin to attend a private school where he loses touch with Miles. After Harry Curren’s death, Miles runs into Justin on the beach and the two young men effortlessly fall back into a friendly rapport as they surf with one another, despite their time apart. This encounter gives Miles a momentary escape from the pain of his little brother’s death and renews him with the same sense of lighthearted freedom he felt as a child.
