Startede dagen med 18 huller på Half Moon Bay Golf Links, Ocean Course, en bane på kanten af Stillehavet. Vejret var selvfølgelig perfekt blå himmel solskin og kun lidt vind, en dejlig golf dag i januar.
Der efter videre op ad kysten for at følge årets store surf begivenhed, Maverick Surf

A year without The Mavericks Surf Contest® is a tough pill to swallow. But just like the waves, The Contest is back. This Winter, when the Pacific storms start raging again and the conditions line up just right, the world’s greatest big-wave surfers will once again descend upon the frigid waters of Half Moon Bay for the chance to ride "the most dangerous waves in the world."
The Mavericks Surf Contest® is world famous, and for good reason. Supremely harsh conditions and the giant, unpredictable waves both contribute to the Contest’s allure. So do the frigid waters, dangerous currents, jagged rocks and the ever-present threat of the Great White Shark. When Mother Nature and a little luck combine to produce the notoriously massive waves, 24 legendary surfers will get The Call. When they do, they will have a mere 24 hours to prepare themselves to face the extreme conditions, the thunderous waves, and each other
Her er de seks der kom i finale med Greg Long som vinder, Grant "Twiggy" Baker fra Syd Afrika #2 og Jimie Sterling som #3.
