The Maverick`s surf point near Half Moon Bay, California, is one of the most dangerous places in the world to catch a ride on a wave. It is also the site of the ultimate challenge of big wave surfing: the Maverick`s Surf Contest. Mark Kreidler takes the reader inside the fifty-foot waves of Maverick`s & inside the lives of the competitors who challenge them. He introduces the reader to the man who first dared to ride a wave at Maverick`s, Jeff Clark. Kreidler`s riveting account of the 2010 season captures the jaw-dropping performance of South Africa`s Chris Bertish
- who was the best of twenty-four surfers amid the biggest waves many had ever seen
