Behold, it's Mavericks

image

Surfing is one of those things that I’ve always wanted to try but never have.  Luckily, my chances of achieving that goal have increased by at least 100% now that I’m not living in snowy New York.  Still, it’s been a year here in California and we haven’t found made the time to catch some big waves, man!  Or more accurately, to take a lesson.  (And they teach surfing every day only an hour away).  I get emotional watching Riding Giants and Step into Liquid and the great surf competitions like Hawaii’s Waimea and Triple Crown.  Even though I’ve seen footage of Mavericks, the legendary Northern CA surf spot, it wasn’t until I walked into the coffeeshop and saw this crazy photo on the cover of the Chronicle that I realized I need to witness this in person.  The photo stopped me in my tracks that morning and I can’t get the image out of my head.  See another article, Local surfer wins Mavericks contest off Northern California coast (March 3, 2005) for more photos and story.
