The Wave One Hundred Miles From Shore (Where Greg Long Almost Died)

One hundred miles off the coast of San Diego with no land in any direction sits a submerged seamount called Cortes Bank. No channel. No beach. No escape route. Mike Parsons set a Guinness World Record here in two thousand and eight. Greg Long nearly drowned here in two thousand and twelve. Almost nobody outside the surfing world has ever heard of it. This is the full story. Every fact and every measurement in this video has been verified against primary sources including Greg Long's own account published in Surfer Magazine. #bigwavesurfing #cortesbank #greglong #mikeparsons #surfing #bigwaves #surfinghistory #mavericks #nazare #bigwavewiipeout #openocean #guinnessworldrecord #bigwavescience #seamount #surfinglegends
