Actually, we didn't know there was an attack while we were out. In fact, even when the Harbor Patrol kicked us out of the water, I still didn't believe it was real. What will happen is anybody's guess, but one can be sure the impact will be felt. But this is different. This one proves that our lives are completely out of our hands at Mavericks, and it's not a good feeling.
Mavericks is alive and biting.
With the winter season upon us only time will tell for sure what is to become of one of the world's, if not the world's most menacing surf spots. We also caught up with Mark Sponsler. Mark is the Webmaster of the StormSurf Website and had paddled out the day of the attack, Go to Interview Quicktime and Realvideo clips of the area around mushroom rock. Notice how tame Mavericks looks at high tide and no waves.
