I love finding out all the stuff we don't know yet. And the ocean is so unexplored it's mind numbing.

It's a difficult tug of war between wanting to know everything about the ocean and wanting to leave it undisturbed and alive.

Much of the book focuses on surfers and their experiences searching for and riding "terrifyingly large waves of seventy and eight feet." Utter craziness!… (more)
