A must read for serious surfers! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book that captures the pure spirit of big wave riding... *by T***Y on December 28, 2011* My first real exposure to Cortes Bank came courtesy of Dana Brown's movie, Step Into Liquid, showing Mike Parsons endlessly dropping into a ridiculously large wave. I had heard of the Bank before that, but nothing really captured the dynamic nature of the place like that clip. Over the past decade, there have been articles here and there about the Bank and that session in particular, but it's Chris Dixon's new book, Ghost Wave, that really pulls the wave and its history into clear relief. Dixon's book is a well-written, engaging history of the Bank from its possible early Native American "discovery", to its role in the sinking of ships, and on through to its performance in some of the most exciting water theater around. Readers not interested in some of the book's drier history would do well to at least pick up the book at the point where, in 1965, a couple of audacious, and slightly nutty, entrepreneurs attempt to scuttle a boat and establish a new nation named Abalonia on top of the Bank. Moving past that bit of hilarity, Dixon begins chronicling the Bank's recent surfing history, and the book's pace and intensity accelerate. In particular, Dixon does a great job delving into the psyche and motivation of the surfers who ride the Bank. In fact, unlike in Susan Casey's book The Wave where the surfers are described ad nauseum as fearless, almost godlike, hellmen, Dixon's approach is much more honest, portraying the surfers` in stark HD, capturing their glory along with all their warts....and there are plenty of warts to go around. Whereas I couldn't see Casey's book appealing to surfers or scientists, I can say with a high degree of confidence that Dixon's fine book is one that all surfers will enjoy.

The watchers of the big wave riders are mesmerized by the feeling that the surfer is surely going to die (as some have).Dixon looks specifically at the history of surfing at the Cortes Banks, where waves break in the middle of the ocean. These are not rogue waves. These are waves that have raced across the Pacific, building speed and power, until they meet the shallows near the islands of the Cortes Banks.The use of tow-in jet skis centers the arguments between the natural surfers and the big wave surfers. Before jet skis, no one could ride these waves, lacking the paddle power to reach the crest. The jet skis can whip a surfer into the right position, and better, there is someone to rescue the surfer after a wipeout.Nevertheless, not all waves are meant to be ridden. The controversy of adding a fuel-driven, noisy engine into a sport that had a zen-like connection between man and nature is a matter of philosophical intent. And the introduction of big money, "Who can ride the biggest wave?" puts novice, greedy surfers in conditions even the experts fear."Ghost Wave" produces the science, the mystery, and the adrenaline junkie highs of surfing. The chapter about Abalonia, a colony state some dreamers thought up, would make a fine comedy with an edge.This is a book for people who are awed by the ocean, love our planet, and wonder how films of one man against a 90 foot wave come to be made. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/90408792-ghost-wave-mp3-cd-unabridged-may-3-2016](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/90408792-ghost-wave-mp3-cd-unabridged-may-3-2016) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
