Friday is Mavericks. Mavericks is the surfing competition where the waves get HUGE- 40+ feet. The water is sharky (great whites), kelpy, and freeeeezing cold. I don't know how they do it. Those waves are like towers. The surfers have to get towed far out and then dropped off where the waves are so they can ride them. The huge rocks where they biggest waves lurk make it especially dangerous. That said, if we have any kids in California we're signing them up for lessons.
