HALF MOON BAY, Calif – The world's top surfers rode monster waves up to three stories tall as they competed in the Super Bowl of big-wave surfing Saturday.
Twenty-four elite riders from around the world took part in this year's Mavericks Surf Contest in Half Moon Bay. They were whisked out on jetskis to conquer the giant swells about a half-mile offshore from Pillar Point Harbor, about 20 miles south of San Francisco.
The water surface near the break was a bit choppy, but surfer Randy Cone said the conditions were favorable for the contest. The waves were expected to improve throughout the day as the tide changed from high to low.
Greg Long (ORANGE WET SUITE) was the winner...scored a perfect 10 wave!!!!!
$25 parking fee this year, plus about a mile hike! Half Moon Bay is about 10 miles from my Pacifica (the town I was reaised in......gotta represent)
