The event window opens in 2 short months and yet the permits, which take six long months, have not been applied for.
Now that Teahupoo is over it is time for us to turn our eyes from those gorgeous green folds, that turquoise water, those reefs all the colors of the rainbow that we learned from Joe Turpel is not a sign of health but rather a cry for help and gaze upon the cold grey fog of California’s Bay Area. Upon Mavericks herself.
And when was the last time you thought about Mavericks? To be honest with you, it is fading from my memory just like Marty McFly and his brother and sister were fading from his wallet picture when he pushed his future father, George, away from an oncoming car, altering the course of history and having Lorraine fall in love with him instead of his future father.
The space-time continuum is very confusing but back to Mavericks. The window for it to run opens in two short months and, as you recall, under the World Surf League banner who rescued the event from bankruptcy.
Yet the contest has not been held in three years and let’s turn to a San Francisco news source where a possible conspiracy is unfolding. Read with me?
More drama continues to surround the world-famous Mavericks surfing contest.
The window to hold the contest opens on November 1. But there is also a window to get things done so the so-called Super Bowl of surfing can even take place, including obtaining crucial permits — and that window is just about shut.
Now officials realize while the WSL holds the contest permit, it has not applied for all the other permits needed — a process that usually takes six months.
“To start the permit process now is definitely late in the game,” said Sabrina Brennan, San Mateo County Harbor Commission president. “It’s going to be challenging to pull it off.”
Mavericks surfer Bianca Valenti on Wednesday told NBC Bay Area she is worried.
“Each time we think we’re going to be getting the opportunity, something seems to happen,” Valenti said. “So fingers crossed that everything lines up and we have the best event ever.”
Local officials said they have not hear(d) back from the WSL about their concerns.
A few things. First, when has anyone called Mavericks “The Super Bowl of Surfing?” I believe I’ve heard Pipeline described as such and also The Eddie but never ever Mavericks. Have you?
Second, and more importantly, why hasn’t the World Surf League applied for the permits? Was the “rescuing” of Mavericks simply a move to disappear it from the earth forever? Is Jeff Clark behind this, wanting to kick the wave back into obscurity so he can surf it alone again? Last year, you recall, the WSL refused to run the event, citing too many big waves. It was, as noted at the time, the day of the year.
What is the World Surf League trying to hide?
More as the story develops.
Well after the surf industry got hijacked by cucked copyright crazed corporate fascist Marxists in the 9o’s there is bound to be true conspiracies going on in the surf industry. Oh shit I think I left my magenta foamy out in the sun gotta go…
SABRINA BRENNAN KILLED MAVERICKS
A local hack politician, Sabrina Brennan has meddled in the Mavericks contest for years. Shes tried to oust a number of previous organizers to get the WSL to take it over, blatantly manpulated the permit process, and contacted every random agency she could find to create more red tape and roadblocks that drained the event of money and a future. She forced the event to go before the coastal commission for a permit that was never before required. She finally gained traction and attention when she came up with her idea that in exchange for the coastal commission permit, women must be included in the event. But she completely ignored the efforts that came way before her, by organizers, to include women in the event, falsely stating that women were banned and creating a shit show controversy based on her lies. She has stated publicly that the San Mateo County Harbor District should run the contest. Yep. She wants a quasi-governmental agency to run a surf contest. Brilliant. Not. Her relentless efforts to meddle in the contest and jack up fees and requirements made it IMPOSSIBLE for any organizier to run a contest in an inhospitable, over-regulated and extremely costly political envtionment. She made this community inhospitable to this event, and no one wants to run it as long as she is around. So here she is still gaining attention and her aspirations for higher political gain. Did you notice that news report didn’t come from the WSL or any surfers? It came from politician Sabrina Brennan. SABRINA BRENNAN KILLED MAVERICKS.
And frankly, it’s good to see it go. Once politicians and corporations meddle in something, it all sucks anyway. Now, a real Mavericks contest would be to have the polticians and conspiracy theorists battle it out on the waves on the biggest day of the year. With no rescue crew since jeskis are banned anyway.
super local protecting her break or total cunt (?)
Caps weren’t necessary. We all heard you yelling without them.
It is super curious why the Harbor would be the source of this story. Good times. Also, no one cares!
Do your ears hurt or something? Haha idiot
This guy calling it The Super Bowl of surfing because they cancelled it a few years on Super Bowl Sunday (all EMTs were diverted to the stadium}. That’s the only reason I can think of.
I’m friends with someone involved in the event. He told me two things:
1) WSL is very, very concerned about the possibility of someone dying in an event. Mavs is one of the more likely places where something like this would happen. The existence of the women division at Mavs compounds this fear…
2)…and that’s why they didn’t run the event last year and instead cancelled it 3 days out.
Essentially you’re not going to see a Mavericks event unless the WSL deems it will be SMALL ENOUGH to run.
Someone dying in an event is definitely not funny… But could you imagine Joe Turpel in the booth, trying to put on a positive spin, as that was unfolding?
Foreskin dog may be out of contention, too busy slapping kids at 1 ft pleasure point
Jeff Clark cant help. He’s busy riding his foil SUP into beginner crowds and surfing dogs at Cowells.
The Lord often requires us to do things that we think sound impossible.
What doesn’t kill dogs makes you stronger.
At some point are we going to stop being surprised that the event is a disaster? It has been since day one.
The WSL is trying to bury BeachGrit until after the Lemore Poo Event. How much did they pay Chas and Derek to run CheezIt adverts for a month to clog the site and silence the non-VAL voices ???
BLOOD FEUD!!!
Uh… wait no…
DEEP STATE!!!
Erm…
CHEEZE-SHITS!!!
Jim Morrison left the door open , or slightly ajar at the end of “ The End “ …. ?
