Maverick's: it's on for 2014

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
    late Wednesday, officials announced that conditions were acceptable for the surfing contest to be held at the Santa Cruz location known as Maverick's, located on the California coast, just north of the city of Santa Cruz and south of the town of Davenport.
      Anticipated big waves could easily exceed 20' in height.   Weather conditions will reflect the January situation in 2014: clear, warmer than average temperatures, with off shore winds.  In other words, perfect.
     The SF Chronicle has an article with fabulous photos of current surf and some from last year's event.   Despite the offshore location that prohibits up close fan observations, it does draw a crowd of fans willing to view the contestants from afar through field glasses and telescopes.   There will be some nice stories after the event is over on Saturday or Sunday.
      If you're in the area.......
