Those are great! When I lived in the bay area I used to go watch Mavericks from the cliff when it was breaking. I'd heard the contest was held, but hadn't seen any pics yet... great stuff!

Nicely done!

I was thinking about heading down there, but realized that I wouldn't have gotten anything good unless I was on a boat!

Great stuff, I was waiting to see stuff so thanks for posting.

By the way, I am assuming you were on a boat or jet ski? What did that cost you? I heard some boats were asking about $250 for a trip out?

Would you do it again?

Great shots, thanks for sharing them. I would have liked to have been there too. Here in So Cal, we had some nice waves but nothing like those!

I think a boat ride would be the only way these days.

Cool stuff!

I'd pay it as well...what a chance ! Nice stuff you got. Im am wanting to get down south to our 'shipsstern bluff' ...its the filthiest wave about. In the cold water at the bottom of Australia. (http://www.surfersvillage.com/img/st/Dylan-Longbottom-Shipsterns.jpg)

That is a great shot Gus. It is amazing when water does this. I have about 2000 shots from last weekend. These are not the best, they are good, but I need to go through everything to get the best. But some of them have the same effect that you captured in your shot where the water looks like a mountain, or a living creature. It is rare that you see water do what it does in the huge waves.

These Mavericks shots were straight from the camera. no processing. But I usually shoot RAW and use lightroom. Sometimes DxO. My HDR shots I use Photomatix
