How to Surf a Hurricane novel

Bad news: Moro's project is cancelled.
Determined to get his prototypes back and aided by a professional hurricane surfer, an Alaskan oil worker, and a French salt farmer, Moro does what any reasonable engineer would do—he quits the family business and plans a heist on the high seas.
But he's no criminal mastermind, and they soon find themselves caught between a growing hurricane and a surprise algae field.
It's The Martian meets Ocean's Eleven, in a world adapting to climate change.
