Closing Season Celebration

Mother Nature may not have given us the waves we needed for a contest this year, but she did manage to show up on the day of the Mavericks Festival on March 31. As the crews showed up to set up for the day, the clouds rolled in along with rain and wind! But, that’s Northern California for ya.

Our thanks to the amazing volunteers, public agencies and community members for your support of the Festival. By the afternoon, we had blue skies, sunshine, great music and a great community vibe as fans and surfers gathered to celebrate.

Thanks to our Sponsors!

Oceano Hotel & Spa, Mavericks Surf Shop, Red Bull, GoPro, Half Moon Bay Brewing Company, PowerBar, Crab Landing, Surfline, Green Planet Water, Sam’s Choweder Mobile, Nequik, Kinesys, T/O Printing, EZ ATM, Coastside.net, ITV Branding and The Go Big Project — for making this year possible.

Thanks to Our Bands!

• Dank Jenkins.  Awesome band with a reggae vibe from San Francisco.
• Barfight. San Francisco-based band with a sweet blend of rock, country and attitude.
• The Expendables! Blending Reggae, Punk Rock, and 80s style dueling guitar solos, The Expendables have made heads turn and floors shake for years.

Thanks to Eric Byrnes, our emcee, and to RhodyCo Productions for event production.

And most of all, thanks to the amazing athletes, THE SURFERS, who put their lives on the line for what they love!
