It's sex, lies and Mavericks!
Sports Illustrated is, of course, the grandaddy of athletic magazines. I used to subscribe and liked Michael Jordan’s tongue and thought Larry Bird would look better without a mustache but then he shaved it and I realized his upper lip actually was a mustache. Surfing didn’t usually feature maybe because it is not a “sport” but yesterday it did and wow!
The author, Joe Carberry, wrote a compelling piece on the battle over Mavericks. In case you don’t know anything about it (and you shouldn’t because surfing turf wars are generally exhausting and not very interesting. What is more, big wave turf wars are worse because they lack both money and accessibility making the scrap over peanuts confusing. What is most, northern California big wave turf wars are the worst because the cold water numbs the tongue the fog makes it impossible to tell who is actually fighting who so people stand around shouting unintelligible nothings into the air.)
What was I saying again?
