This was my first time doing a Q&A. I’m really happy with how it turned out. The guy I interviewed wrote an incredible book about the surfers and history behind Cortes Bank.  

As he says in the article:

“In a weird way it’s a story that kind of parallels the American experience. I know that sounds like a grandiose thing to say, but you have this place that was first inhabited by natives thousands of years ago. And then you have these white explorers who eventually colonize and discovered it [Cortes Bank] during the period of Manifest Destiny. And any people who have tried to hoard it or make it theirs, whether it’s for abalone, treasure or waves. All the people out there, they want a piece of that rock.”
