The next day was the opening ceremony for "The Jay," the big wave contest held at Maverick's. Media was in full force that day and there were plenty of jet skis in the water.
I was sitting to the south of the main bowl, when a set swung wide. I paddled for it and the wind coming up the face kept me from making the drop. I fell off. The next wave started to feather and pushed me further in the pit. The wave after that was a real bomb and landed on my head.
After a good 20 second thrashing, I surfaced and was left with half a board. Before the next wave had a chance to blow me up, a nice man on a jet ski came to my aid and pulled me to safety. Thank you Maverick's water patrol!
Here's the carnage:
