Half Moon Bay

In this place there are many geese, and for this reason the soldiers named it the plain of 'Los Ansares'.

Monterey Bay, about 70 miles south of San Francisco, and Half Moon Bay, somewhat nearer, were excellent for clandestine operations because of the many landing places, proximity of good roads, and relatively sparse population.

There is something in the atmosphere of Spanishtown that breeds a spirit of independence. The people believe in themselves.

Half Moon Bay artichokes are known from San Francisco to New York and have made the name of Halfmoon Bay famous.

This is the self-styled "Pumpkin Capital of the World," where the fall landscape resembles a Seurat canvas of orange dots, where pumpkin ale and pumpkin sausages are ordinary fare, and where gigantic gourds are enough to set the heart aflutter.

But Mavericks was meaner, it was definitely a lot colder and I think that made a big difference. It's dark and it's just mean.

On that winter day in 1975, I caught five waves. After the first successful attempt, all I could think was, “I want another one of those!”

Mavericks is known throughout the world as one of the biggest surfable waves on the planet.
