Mavericks Surfing Live

This is it. The premiere Nor Cal Surfing event of the year. Big Jumbotrons my be nice at PacBell and Streaming Live on Facebook, but nothing beats being there in person and just experiencing the surf. Got there at 7:30 in the Am this morning. Even with that we still had to walk at least 20min to the point. I chose, this year, to climb the mountain and not venture out onto the rocks at the Point below. And this was a good choice. There was not a good scene today on the beach. The waves came crashing in and took out the BandStand, a couple of shade tents and some people out into the water. It was pretty friken crazy. It looked super dangerous down there. Sure Hope no one got hurt.

The waves were HUGE, and the surfers took advantage. We had a great spot up on the hill with a direct line of site to the waves. I shot some video on my Flip and some Video on my Iphone so I could not zoom in very much, but you can totally see that the waves were slammin today. There was just a huge crowd, like a million people. Maybe not a Million but it was packed.

We got there early, caught some waves, got some food, picked up some merchandise, watched the Jumbotron and headed home, all before 11:00 am Today.

If you missed it, then maybe next year.............
