Every winter when the ocean buoys start to read 10, 15, and 20 feet, the coast of Half Moon Bay, California, is transformed by an enormous wave called Maverick's. Recognized as one of the most dangerous big wave surf breaks in the world, Maverick's is big, cold, and sickeningly powerful. It's the best show in town, but until now you could only see it through a pair of binoculars. Inside Maverick's brings you right onto the sickening ledge of a 75-foot wave with jaw-dropping photographs by Doug Acton, covering fifteen years of incredible surfing with photos that have never before been published. Sports columnist Bruce Jenkins and Maverick's surfer Grant Washburn have interviewed top big wave surfers to discuss every aspect of the freakish wave, offering gritty insider accounts of what it's really like out there. Big, hardbound, color.ISBN 10 0-8118-5121-4Size: 11.5 x 10.5 in. Hardback - 160 pages
