Mavericks Art Show Reaches Unprecedented Swell
Big wave surf photographer reflects on successful fourth annual show in Half Moon Bay.
It's a modest-sized space, yet this year's "Mavericks: Everest of the Seas" art exhibit at the gallery in Half Moon Bay has packed in a show of wall-to-wall waves of its hometown break.
Big and splashy photos of Mavericks surfers riding the waves line the edges of the room, along with paintings, video, and pieces of ceramic and fabric art.
In the center of it all lies a smooth and shiny surfboard made of mahogany — perhaps a fitting position for the man credited with being the first to surf the wave located less than a mile past Pillar Point Harbor over 35 years ago.
