Mavericks is a surf location in northern California about 2 miles (3 km) from the beach just outside Pilar Point Pilar, just north of Half Moon Bay town in Princeton-by-the-Sea village. After a strong winter storm in the northern Pacific Ocean, the waves can routinely jump over 25 feet (8 m) and reach a peak at over 60 feet (18 m). Routinely, ruptured waves can be recorded on the seismometer. This break is caused by extraordinarily shaped underwater rock formations.
Mavericks is a winter destination for some of the best big wave surfers in the world. Very few racers are surfing big waves, and from them, only a few people are willing to risk their lives under dangerous, sometimes lethal conditions, on the Mavericks. The invite contest only held there most of the winter, when the waves came.

Asal nama
In early March 1967, Alex Matienzo, Jim Thompson, and Dick Notmeyer explored the far waves of Pilar Point. Together they are the white haired shepherd of Matienzo, Maverick, who used to swim with their owners and Matienzo while they were surfing. The three surfers left Maverick on the beach, but he swam toward them. Finding unsafe conditions for dogs, Matienzo tied them before rejoining the others. The riders had limited success on that day as they surfed over the peaks about 1/4 mile from the shore, right along the rocks visible from the shore; they consider the larger outer waves too dangerous. The surfers named the location after Maverick, who seemed to get the greatest pleasure from the experience.

Description
Ocean floor
A seabed map released by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in 2007 revealed the mechanism behind the Mavericks wave. A long, sloping incline leads to the surface. The climb slows wave propagation on top of it. The waves above the deep trough on each side of the road continue at full velocity forming two angles in front of the wave centered above the boundary between the ramp and the trough. The result of this is a U-shaped or V-shaped wavefront on a ramp containing wave energy from the full width of the ramp. These U-shaped or V-shaped waves then collapse into a small area at the top center of the road with tremendous power.
Left Hander
What remains in the Mavericks is rarely driven, because the waves tend to be unreliable. It can be a much faster journey than the right one, shooting the rider down a faster pipe barrel. Surfline says the left is a "short-lived blast of hell and spitfire."
History
Jeff Clark grew up in Half Moon Bay, watching Mavericks from Half Moon Bay High School and Pillar Point. At that time the location was considered too dangerous for surfing. He has the possibility of riding a Hawaiian-sized wave in Northern California. In 1975 at the age of 17 and with the waves peaking at 20-24 feet (6-7 m), Clark padded alone to face the break. He caught several broken waves, thus becoming the first documented person to handle the Mavericks directly.
In addition to some of Clark's friends who have rowed and seen the Mavericks themselves, there are no big wave surfer who believe in its existence. Popular opinion states that there is no big wave in California.
Dave Schmidt (brother of the great wave legend Richard Schmidt) and Tom Powers, both from Santa Cruz, are two of the next people surfing the Mavericks, surfing with Clark on January 22, 1990. John Raymond, from Pacifica, Johathan Galili, Tel Aviv, Israel, and Mark Renneker, from San Francisco, surfed the Mavericks a few days later.
Popularize
In 1990, the Mavericks photo was taken by Clark's friend, Steve Tadin, published in Surfer magazine. This sparked interest in the Mavericks. More Mavericks photos appeared in surfing magazines, and soon, filmmaker Gary Medeiros released the movie, Adventure Waves in the Red Triangle . When news of the Mavericks spread, many big wave surfer came and surfed there.
The Death of Mark Foo
On December 23, 1994, during a week of great waves, the famous Hawaiian big waveman Mark Foo, Ken Bradshaw, Brock Little, Mike Parsons, and Evan Slater visited the Mavericks. In the morning, Foo drove the plane off to an 18-foot (5 m) wave, caught the end of the surfboard on the surface, and fell down into an area near the bottom of the wave. A few hours later, a surfer who traveled back to the coast by boat watched a corpse in the water, identified as Foo. The only visible wound was a small wound on the forehead. Many surfers believe that the fall hit the wind from Foo and he was tied up by a rope into a rock formation.
News of Foo's death travels quickly to a community of far-flung surfers. The crash gave the Mavericks a greater fame and encouraged the formation of Mavericks Water Patrol by Frank Quirarte and Clark. The accident also triggered sustained discourse around the safe surfboard surfboard slides while surfing in extreme waves. Many believe that Foo's surfboard straps may have caused his death. Leash supporters maintain it as a useful convenience and as a guarantee against the loss of a surfboard, a form of flotation device, a means for fallen surfers to find the surface by following the straps to the floating board. The opponent argues that the rope can cause the rider to collide with the board in the wipe and that the rope can also circle around the surfer's arm, leg or neck when underwater. The fast-release velcro armor has since become a standard surfing equipment to address some of these risks.
The Death of Milosky Zion
Sion Milosky, a great surfer surfer, died at the Mavericks on March 16, 2011. Milosky, 35, from Kalaheo, Kauai, Hawaii, seems to be drowning after holding back two waves continuously around 18.30. Twenty minutes after the incident, Nathan Fletcher found Milosky's body floating in the mouth of Pillar Point Harbor.
Milosky was named North Shore Underground Surfer of the Year in February 2011. He used some $ 25,000 prizes to travel to Half Moon Bay to capture one of the last major waves of the season at the Mavericks.
Invitational Surf contest
The first surfing contest at Mavericks, now known as Mavericks Invitational, was held in 1999, and has been held nine times until 2014. The committee invites 24 big wave surfers each year to compete in a one-day event, but only held if favorable wave conditions during the season competition (currently 1 November - 31 March).
Darryl Virostko ("Flea") won an early contest in 1999, while Richard Schmidt, Ross Clarke-Jones and Peter Mel took second, third and fourth places, respectively. The next year put Virostko, Kelly Slater, Tony Ray, Peter Mel, Zach Wormhoudt, and Matt Ambrose in the first to sixth place. In 2004, Virostko, Ambrose, Evan Slater, Anthony Tashnick, Mel, and Grant Washburn were placed in the first to sixth place. Tashnick came first in 2005. In 2006, Grant Baker, from South Africa, won first place, with Tyler Smith and Brock Little in second and third. The 2007 contest was canceled due to unusually mild weather which resulted in no day with the corresponding wave at the end of March, the usual cutoff time to hold the competition. In 2008, Greg Long was crowned Mavericks Champion, Baker won second and Jamie Sterling won third place, followed by Smith in fourth, Washburn fifth and Evan Slater sixth. The contest was canceled again in 2009. In 2010, Chris Bertish of South Africa took first place; won a $ 150,000 surf gift, sponsored by Moose Guen, Jane Sunderland and Barracuda Networks.
In the fall of 2010, a group of surfers, community leaders, and contest organizers formed Half Moon Bay Surf Group, Inc., with the aim of controlling the contest. In October, the San Mateo Port Commission gave them permission and official planning of the "Jay in Maverick's Big Wave Invitational" inauguration (as it was called). Invited competitors include 11 times ASP World Champion Kelly Slater and 23 others. However, the contest was not held due to lack of waves in 2011 and 2012. The latest contest was held in 2013 (won by Peter Mel) and 2014 (won by Grant Baker). The latest Surf Mavericks contest was held on February 12, 2016.
In December 2017, the Titans of Maverick, renamed the Mavericks Challenge, became part of the Big Wave Tour of the World Surf League. The Mavericks Challenge runs from 3 January 2018 to 28 February 2018. A list of competing large wave surfers can be found on the World Surf League website. Monday, January 15, 2018 competition was canceled due to difficult conditions.
AT & amp; T Park in San Francisco hosted live events on a giant video screen (110 feet wide).
In October 2006, the Monterey Bay National Ocean Sanctuary proposed a private boat ban from the Mavericks, which caused a strife in the sport.
