The Bay to Breakers is an annual footrace which takes place in San Francisco, California. The name reflects the fact that the race starts at the northeast end of the downtown area a few blocks from The Embarcadero (adjacent to San Francisco Bay) and runs west through the city to finish at the Great Highway (adjacent to the Pacific coast, where breakers crash onto Ocean Beach). The race is 7.46 miles (12 kilometers) long, and is run on the third Sunday in May. These pictures were taken in the 2010 race.

Maverick's Surf 2009-2010

Maverick's is a world-famous surfing location in Northern California (Moon Bay area). In the 2009-2010 contest held on Feb/13/2010 waves toped out at over 45 feet (13m). The break is caused by an unusually-shaped underwater rock formation. Mavericks is a winter destination for some of the world's best big wave surfers. Very few riders become big wave surfers; and of those, only a select few are willing to risk the hazardous conditions at Maverick's. This is an invitation-only contest that takes place every winter, depending on wave conditions.
