I had to go to the coast knowing that the big surf contest is happening at Mavericks beach today, down at Half Moon Bay. The waves up on the Sonoma Coast were just about as big as Maverick's, where all the spectators were doused with some serious waves. Glad I had my camera safe and sound here on the Sonoma coast!

WOW, the surf is amazing.. I heard all about those spectators getting sucked in! So glad you where safe. If I was there with you, we would have been sucked out and probably died!!!!
Yeah, I'm sure we would have been all about getting the shot on the beach and would have been under the wave. I mean, all these people were in the place they were told to stand. But honestly, one of the reasons we did not go is because Craig said there is no place to stand there - it is either down on the tiny beach which could get hit by waves, or you are up on a cliff that is falling down from erosion. Either way, you are screwed. So I decided to watch the live webcast instead - much safer!! But honestly, I was just crying for all the people who lost their cameras, I mean there was some serious equipment there, including tv cameras that were completely wrecked. Owch!!
