Maverick's Surf Contest has been Greenlit

There's a couple of photography moments I try not to miss every year; one of them is the Mavericks Surf Contest. Mavericks is a contest that happens once a year, and because the sport depends on the weather conditions, it is held at a moment's notice; within 24 hours world class surfers from around the world arrive in Half Moon Bay to ride the waves. Last year, the conditions never got good enough for the contest to be held, but with the rains we've been having in the Bay Area, I knew it was going to be held soon. The Mavericks Surf contest happens tomorrow, starting at 8am. This year's waves look to be awesome. It's too bad I won't be here to attend, but Mavericks is webcasting it on MySpace and having a party at AT&T park. Since the surfing takes place about half a mile from the shore, without high powered optics or a spot on a boat, you probably won't be able to see much.
