Maverick’s: Everest of the Seas
The many moods of Maverick’s—the world-famous big wave break just off Half Moon Bay—will be the subject of a unique art exhibit featuring the finest work of a group of local professional photographers who have devoted their lives to capturing the decisive moments of action at the legendary surf spot. Ed Grant, Coastal Arts League member and Maverick’s photographer, has assembled the most spectacular images from the cutting-edge photojournalists who risk life and limb to document the wave’s intense man-against-the-sea drama and obsessive lifestyle of Maverick’s elite riders.
Both the shooters and the surfers who challenge the break on its most extreme days will make a rare one-time public appearance. This collection of brilliant images are sure to give you the visual ride of your life and views from the top of the watery world! The event is open to the public & admission is free.
Meet the Maverick’s legends at the opening reception on Saturday, February 21 from 3:00–8:00 PM (Editor’s note: time corrected) at the Coastal Arts League Gallery, 300 Main St., Half Moon Bay.
The exhibit will be on display February 21 through March 9.
Featured Photographers: Frank Quirarte, Doug Acton and Don Montgomery
The gallery is located on the north end of Main street in Half Moon Bay, close to a lot of great restaurants and bars. So plan on making an evening of it. Hope to see you all there.

Great opening event. Viewing photos of these Maverick’s veterans framed, lit and blown up really is hypnotic. Rideable artwork by Jeff Clark throughout the show adds rich color, texture and scale. Kudos to Ed and Katherine for pulling it together and to Don, Frank and Doug for nailing it. Show goes through March 9, so there’s still time — check it out.
