Video Description:
The is footage of the 2008 Mavericks Big Wave Surfing competition at Half Moon Bay, CA.
A nice vignette of wipeouts is at the end of the video...
Jeff made the call to the 24 competitors on Friday Jan. 11, giving everyone 24 hours to arrive and be in the water...
At 3pm, Greg Long was crowned the $30K winner...
Though the surf wasn't as big this year as in 06', it was still amazing to see.
Click on my own video response for the same video with good audio... for some reason this version's audio just stinks after upload.
I took this with a Sony DCR-SR60 with a 2X teleconverter from about 3/4 miles away on the highest bluff that the spectators can get to. Unfortunately at this distance, a couple millimeters movement on the tripod is all that is needed to pan, making the tracking of the surfers from right to left a bit choppy.
Music: Paul Van Dyk

Where were you? How much does it cost to ride the boats I see in the back?
Thanks for posting this.
I was on "Bluff 3" (I think that is what they call it)...
I costs about $275 per person to go on the boats out...
