Born in Southern California and raised in Hawaii, Corky Sandoval grew up around surfing and surf culture. He would be the first to admit that he wasn’t the best surfer, but was “committed”. Returning to the mainland, he set his journey to surf as many locations in the U.S. as possible. Traveling in his old Plymouth, The Buggy, with his best friend Gabe, he worked his way across the country making lifelong friendships, and dream adventures. The opportunity to meet his idol and namesake, surf champion Corky Carroll, on Virginia Beach, was just one.
Little did Corky know that he would discover some jarring facts about his background that would change his life, forever.
