Mavericks called biggest ever as “strong and tall waves” detonate off Half Moon Bay

Fit as fiddles.

It’s the sort of surf that is not for everyone. Cold and mean. Energized by rage-filled deep ocean storms. Very scary. Described as “strong and tall waves” by the local San Francisco NBC affiliate, Mavericks served up what many are calling “biggest ever” during this recent holiday run of swell.

Though shrouded in fog, those in the know declared and/or flying drones declared heights to be 60+ ft.

Double Eddie.

Chase LaRue, a surfer from Santa Cruz who made his way into Mavericks famed lineup, and declared it “righteous.

“Pretty righteous conditions out there. The swell started filling in an eventually a nice solid peak came my way, and I stroked into and scored it,” he shared, adding, “When I see the swell on the horizon, and we know it is out in the ocean 1,000 miles away, we know it is on its way, and I am just biting my nails. I am holding my breath, getting ready for these sessions. It is such a relief, actually.”

Jack Pearson, a model helicopter pilot from San Francisco, opined, “I have seen a lot of guys basically risking their lives on these really big waves. I get nervous watching these guys. Just with the size of these waves. I don’t think I’ve been out here on a day like this where it is this big.”

Triple Eddie?

Determine for yourself above.

And Merry Christmas one and all!

Was listening to Piper at the Gates of Dawn today. Lucifer Sam is groovy. And Syd Barrett’s solo work holds up well. Gigolo Aunt has a wicked off kilter guitar solo. Syd was gold.

And who knows which is which and who is who.
Up and down.
But in the end it’s only round and round.
Haven’t you heard it’s a battle of words

While this is interesting, I’m disappointed the Revel Surf Park won’t have their lagoon open when I’m there the next few days. No methadone surfing in the desert for me…

I never fail to marvel, not only at the sheer bravery of these lions masquerading as men, but at their eloquence.

A bit of too and fro going on here. Just after the Super sized Eddie we have Mavo’s allegedly going bonkers. Triple Eddie’s equates to all at Mavericks dead set dead in this fabled line up.
