What is it about Mavericks that makes it so especially intimidating? When I see photos of Jaws going off I think "wow!" When I see photos of Mavericks my stomach tightens and I think "that doesn't seem like a very good idea."
Full props to the surfers of Mavericks. More photos like this are on the San Francisco Chronicle. The amazing shot above is by Adam Lau.

Isn't this one of the most dangerous places to surf. From what I have seen on documentaries it has one of the most dangerous drop zones - sheer cliff!
