Publisher description
A finely crafted tale of the enigmatic world of big-wave surfers."-Kirkus Reviews The Maverick's surf point near Half Moon Bay, California, has long been one of the most dangerous places in the world to catch a ride. It is also the site of the Super Bowl of big-wave surfing: the Maverick's Surf Contest. Mark Kreidler takes readers inside the waves, inside the lives of the competitors, and introduces them to Jeff Clark, the man who first dared to ride Maverick's. Kreidler's riveting account of the 2010 season captures the jaw-dropping performance of South Africa's Chris Bertish as well as Clark's clashes with the contest's newly corporatized management. The Voodoo Wave is a thrilling account of a culture of high-risk, high-adrenaline athletes. 8 pages of photographs
