MAVERICK'S BIG WAVE COMPETITION 2010 - RESULTS

   

The surfer's tamed the waves, the spectators were wiped out, and so ends the
Maverick's 'Big Wave' competition for 2010.

South African, Chris Bertish won this year's competition taking home a paltry $50,000
for surfing the four story waves.  But it was the spectators that unfortunately suffered
from this year's big wave competition as one rogue wave hit the break water and tore
through the hordes of spectators, judges table, vendors and the public address system.
Below are two links to unedited video of the incident.

Also, want to know what it looks like to be in the throes of a 4 story wave, below find a
link to a video that was edited on this year's event illustrating size, scale and scope of
the competition.

And finally, congrats to Chris Bertish and to all who participated and get well to all those
injured spectators.  Watching at AT&T Park in San Francisco sounds better and better
all the time.
