Alec Cooke was 59 when he was last seen on October 27, 2015, at Waimea Bay Beach Park in Haleiwa after going into the ocean during powerful surf.

Cooke was well known on Oahu’s North Shore as Alec Ace Cool Cooke, a big-wave surfer who had chased large surf since the 1970s and 1980s and sometimes surfed at night using lights or glow sticks. His truck was found near Waimea Bay with his dog and keys inside, and his surfboard was recovered ashore broken in half. The U.S. Coast Guard, Honolulu police, and local responders conducted an extensive air, sea, and shoreline search covering roughly 8,930 square miles before the active search was suspended.

If anyone knew Alec, his habits around Waimea Bay, or saw him that night, please share what you remember.
