Those are some very nice waves. I was watching some Australian competition while eating at Big City Diner. The sound was turned off and I wasn't able to find out where it was taking place. The waves weren't that big and the surfers were doing tricks. It was a little goofy. My guess is that the greatest big wave spot on the planet hasn't been discovered yet. Maybe it'll never be discovered or maybe the warming earth will change the ones we have. My guess is that the surfers will be riding bigger waves than we can ever imagine in a hundred years from now. They'll be towed/flown to the waves using robot drones. ![]() |

That place reminds me of Half Moon Bay California. It's a little town that's known for its annual Arts and Pumpkin Festival. It's also the location of a big wave spot that rivals anything on the North Shore of Oahu. It's a dangerous spot and I'm not talking about sharks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8CjVZtW-tY |

Mavericks is a scary and dangerous surfing spot. So much so, that great whites are mostly a nuisance. My guess is that sharks mostly stay away from that dangerous surf. My brother-in-laws would know about the sharks. The fished for abalone in the bay. Half Moon Bay is a famous spot for shark attacks on abalone divers.

Big time !! A lot depends on what foods are available in the area when you're hungry. Sometimes you just have to eat at McDonald's. If you're a Great White and in Scotland you might actually dine on a guy named McDonald. |

With global warming, surf spots will change. The Margaret River spot isn't that good, imo. Get in a few moves then the wave closes out. Very large waves in last night's contest. Larger than I would surf in. Anyway some people do extreme large wave surfing now. They are towed into the wave by jet ski to catch them early. None of that for me ever. My favorite waves are about 3-6 foot faces, not 20-30 foot faces. Fun to ride but not dangerous. |

The Bay of Fundy sounds like water park - such a happy name! Mavericks was discovered by Jeff Clark in the mid-seventies. He had found a big wave spot that rivals the winter swells of Hawaii's North shore from his back yard in Half Moon Bay CA. Nobody believed that such a thing was possible so he surfed the spot for over a decade alone or with a few friends. These days, people know about Mavericks alright. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkwCQH6IVhM |

I didn´t know about Mavericks until Tim Cook named a full version of the Apple OS after it. Half Moon Bay is also famous for pumpkins. I didn´t have to look that up. By the way, what do Hawaiians know about surfing, anyway?<winkey> |

If you want to see large veggies, especially pumpkins and cabbages, do a Google search for "Alaska large vegetables" Southern Alaska has short summers but long days and they grow giant stuff. You'll be amazed! ![]() |

I was only there once, about 30 years ago. We spent some time camping at the national park there. When the tide is out you cannot see water. When the tide is in the water level is about 45 feet higher. You can watch the water level changing almost like filling or emptying a tub. It is amazing. |

You can be down on the edge and not see water and you can walk around and explore the natural caves. Then you have to get out and get to higher ground because the caves will be underwater. On the open ocean it is only about two feet but in the Bay of Fundy is is as much as 52 feet. |
