The quotation at the head of the post was spoken by Chris Bertish, of South Africa, after he won the 2010 Mavericks Surf Contest, February 13, 2010. All other words in the post were spoken by the contest announcers, names unknown, during the approximately five hour live webcast. All photos from SFGate, the website of the San Francisco Chronicle. For more on the wondrous argot of surf, see The Surfin’ary: A Dictionary of Surfing Terms and Surfspeak (Berkeley: Ten Speed Press, 2001).
