a few pics from mavericks

apparently the waves were 25-50 footers - so gnarly! you cant see much, we were pretty high up on the bluffs, but if you look closely at the last pic, you will see a lil surfer riding the wave in.

mother nature is wicked! after watching for a few hours up on the bluffs we went down to the beach, but it was closed - as two waves crashed over the seawall and soaked a dozen spectators, even injuring them. A lil bit later it opened up and I was able to get a much more limited view from the ground.

They estimate 50,000 people came out to watch. The crowds were ridic! But we are glad that we were able to see it, one of the most dangerous surf competitions in the world.
