It is narrated by Bruce "Pikelet" Pike, a divorced, middle-aged paramedic and takes the form of a long flashback in which he remembers his childhood friendship with Loonie.

The word spread initially to the West Midlands, where it became anglicised as "pikelet", and subsequently to Cheshire, Lancashire, Yorkshire, and other areas of the north.

The second half of Breath is concerned with the disintegration of Pikelet's friendship with Sando and Loonie and his developing relationship with Sando's American wife Eva.

The main distinguishing feature of the Welsh or West Midlands pikelet is that it was traditionally cooked without a ring, with an end result rather flatter or thinner than a crumpet.

Hearing Eva talk of her childhood in exotic Mormon Utah and her career as a globe-trotting freestyle skier, Pikelet finds his own surroundings of "bare plains and dank forest" insufficient.

Being from Birmingham I can tell you that many words in the Brummie dialect are of Welsh origin, (such as pikelet rather than crumpet etc. etc.) perhaps bilingual road signs should be introduced there.

Thinking back on the first time he ever stood on a board, the grown-up (and thoroughly wised up) Pikelet says, "I still judge every joyous moment, every victory and revelation against those few seconds of living."

If you don't have these, you could try making moulds out of foil; or go freestyle, and eschew the mould altogether, in which case what you'll be making is technically not a crumpet but a Northern variant called a pikelet.

Recalling a particularly fevered lecture on the "hand of God" and other divine secrets of the woo-woo brotherhood, Pikelet says: "There was something of the classroom about Sando, the stink of chalk on him when he got going, but my mind was racing.

In our Pestchanka, I remember, pike used to be caught a yard long, and there were eel-pouts, and roach, and bream, and every fish had a presentable appearance; while nowadays, if you catch a wretched little pikelet or perch six inches long you have to be thankful.

A regional variation of the crumpet is the pikelet, whose name derives from the Welsh bara piglydd or "pitchy [i.e. dark or sticky] bread", later shortened simply to piglydd; the early 17th century lexicographer, Randle Cotgrave, spoke of "our Welsh barrapycleds".

The term "pikelet" is also used in Australia and New Zealand for a similarly flat cake, of the type that in Scotland and North America would be called a pancake and in England a Scotch pancake, girdle or griddle cake, or drop scone.

At the novel's outset, Pikelet and his aptly named buddy Loonie fall under the sway of Bill Sanderson, a semi-retired international surf god lying low with his collection of vintage boards, bookshelves full of Jack London and Carlos Castaneda, and surly American wife, Eva.

When Sando and Loonie go big-wave hunting in Indonesia without saying goodbye guru shtick and bad manners "are pretty much the same thing," Eva says Pikelet finds himself drawn into another kind of initiation with the guru's wife, who turns out to have a taste for even more dangerous, breath-defying games.

The freeze-frame descriptions of surfing, of which there are many, are gripping: "On TV I'd seen elephants run beside safari jeeps, pounding along at incredible speed while seeming to move in slow motion, and that's exactly how it was," Pikelet says of his first ride outside the shelter of the bay.
