Maverick's Surf Contest

Not a ski post but I thought I would throw it out there to those interested... The Maverick's surf contest started this morning just north of Half Moon Bay, CA. Waves aren't that big today although they're still big enough. 18-20ft with the occasional 35ftr rolling in.... Here's a link to a free webcam... http://www.ktvu.com/video/6790909/detail.html

Ok, got the deal on the dead link......Live feed will begin again at 1:30pst on the same link (I think) ...otherwise, go to http://www.ktvu.com/index.html and click on the webcam link from there. There should be highlights from this morning's sessions starting at noon (now) until they start the live feed again @ 1:30....Enjoy!

Nice....

damn dude, relax.

<surf jong>Can you ride it as a left or only a right? Seems to vary with the sets. </surf jong>

Thank you for posting that here. I would not have seen it otherwise.

BZ, I am posting a The O.C. review if you don't calm down.

There's a surfermag cover of one of the Malloy bros tapping the left. It's doable but it's only a big drop and nothing else. The right is what makes Mavs a world class big wave right. The left is more of a novelty.

It's like getting to the top of a mountain and you have two chutes to pick from: one's a few thousand foot of vert- blower pow all the way to the bottom, and the other is blower for the first two turns, then dust on crust that only goes a couple hundred vert.



DAMN! We lost live feed. Fuck!
http://www.ktvu.com/video/6790909/detail.html doesn't work anymore (redirects to the news story).

Ahhhhhhh! Where did it go!!!!!! Nothing but a crappy ad followed by black now. Damnit!

For those staying in town and hanging out after the contest, here is the best route for parties after:

1) start at HMB Brewing company. Catch some sitings of some of the surfers. Have a good beer and some grub.

2) once you've had 2 - or 5 - Maverick Ales, head over to Old Princeton Landing. Be careful. You could easily be beaten to a pulp there if you look like a yuppie :).

3) end up at the Harbor Bar. If you break some beer bottles in the parking lot you get extra gnar points.

Wish I were there - so bummed that I'm back East right now.

Have fun!!

Ok, got the scoop......Live feed will begin again at 1:30pst on the same link (I think) ...otherwise, go to http://www.ktvu.com/index.html and click on the webcam link from there. There should be highlights from this morning's sessions starting at noon (now) until they start the live feed again @ 1:30....Enjoy!

That's exactly why I posted it here.....Figured others wouldn't have checked the surf forum.

I miss the ocean. :(

But I love the mountains....... :D

:cool:


Let's see...

I've lived in/near the mountains for 14 years of my life.

I've lived near the ocean (Pacific, Atlantic & Gulf of Mexico) for 11 years of my life.

Lived landlocked and far from mountains for only 3 years of my life.


It's a near split for me...

Anyone check the highlights from this morning?...So sick...

Damn. Makes me hard with fear...

peace,
D.
