Maves Contest,

Last week I was lucky enough to witness Chris Bertish take out the maves contest in what most are calling the biggest surf ever in competition. The event was the biggest eye opener of my life just watching from the channel everyone was going hard paddling into the waves of their lives. Surfing definately reached new hights that day. Here are a couple of images from the contest, check out the video link on surfline below……..

It was so good seeing Chris win, the guy surfs so well and is one of the best underground big wave surfers around. Chris arrived into San Fran at 1 in the morning the night before the contest from a 36 hour travels from South Africa, surfed all day partied all night and then flew home the next day for a work meeting at home. Talk about taking it out in style.
