The Mavericks Surf Contest is California's best-known big-wave surf event. The 2008 event will be held on Saturday January 12, 2008.

Twenty-four of the world's top big-wave surfers - half from the Bay Area - are invited to compete. Whether surfers coming from as far away as Brazil and South Africa make it on short notice is never a given.

There were some pretty good waves available on a clear, windy, and crisp day where Greg Long emerged as the winner of the 2008 Mavericks Surf Contest. The Airport, Princeton Harbor, El Granada, and Highway 1 were jammed with people trying to see the contest which ran from 8am to 3pm today. Congratulations Greg! Make sure you visit Mavericks Surf, the official contest site for all the latest info and some great photos of the event.
