Alec Cooke has lost his life surfing 30-foot waves at Waimea Bay, in Haleiwa, Hawaii. The US Coast Guard called off its search for the missing surfer. The 59-year-old surfer was missing since October 27th when he left home to ride a large swell on Oahu’s North Shore. His truck was found on the Kamehameha Highway, with his dog inside. Cooke, nicknamed “Ace Cool”, was born in Boston, in 1956. He is a descendant of the famous Captain Cook, who first documented surfing in the 18th century.
