Maybe Duane should send his crew up to shoot the Shellbacks in action. I image the Cape must have wild days, though I still feel Cape Beale on a big day is simply an outrageous spot, as deep water waves barrel right in - no river bar slowing the swell here. Likewise, Race Rocks on a truly bad day can be heard two miles away with a vastness few enthral with. So far, no out-of-bounds signs at any of those spots, though a Fisheries vessel has in the past attempted to dissuade further passage out of Port Renfrew with a hurricane due very soon. But hey, this is Canada, and we were very polite about it, though I remained dissuaded.
