Yesterday Jim and Drew stopped to pull crabs at 6 am on their way to Mavericks surf competition. Mavericks is a world famous surf competition that occurs once a year off the coast of Half Moon Bay. Mavericks is an unusual spot with over 20 foot waves off the coast of California. As the organizers say: "There they will face cold water, strong currents, unpredictable conditions, huge waves, and each other in a surfing contest like no other on the planet." When they call the contest, the contestants have only have 24 hours to get there! Yesterday there were about 50,000 spectators. The vast majority of those spectators are on the land which is located about 1/2 miles from the waves. Jim and Drew were in the boat close enough to see the action without high power binoculars.
Super cool experience for a 12 year old kid!
