High Hopes For The Mavericks Surf Contest This Year
The California coastline is getting hammered with some of the biggest and best surf in years this winter season. Buildings are falling off the cliffs, sandbags are being filled, insurance claims are being written, and surfers are being stoked. All this can only mean great things for the Mavericks big wave surf contest in Half Moon Bay Calif.; which needs a swell of at least 50 ft wave faces to go off.
The 24 hand-picked surfers who will be competing in the contest vote on the day that the contest will run. When conditions meet the strict standards set by the competitors, the surfers have about 48 hours to hop on a plane from wherever they are in the world and get to Half Moon Bay, which is located about 20 minutes down the coast from San Francisco. A $150,000 purse and giant surf awaits.
