"If the world's top alpinists had 24 hours notice to get to Mount Everest and race each other to the top, it would be on par with the Mavericks Surf Contest." --National Geographic Adventure, May 2006.

Perilous waves, horrendous wipeouts and perfect 10 rides mark The 2006 Mavericks Surf Contest® presented by Verizon Wireless. On 24 hours notice, 24 of the world’s best big-wave warriors convened in Half Moon Bay, California to do battle with merciless 50 foot waves, rough & frigid waters, ragged rocks and each other. The 2006 Contest has been described by industry insiders as the best big-wave surf contest ever.

And the Official 2006 DVD captures the action from every angle—from a helicopter above, from high-powered shore-based cameras, from a boat bobbing in the channel, and from a jet ski hovering near the impact zone
