This is a pretty cool article because it tells you who has won the latest Mavericks Surf Contest that Jay Moriarty had won back in the 90's. It also gave information about some of the competitors and also about how big the waves were on this day. It said that they were not the biggest the Mavericks have ever been but they reached up to 25-30 feet tall. Overall this was a neat article because they still are surfing the waves that Jay had first surfed.

This article is really interesting. It shows where the biggest waves usually form in the world. Some of the places I have never even heard of but the pics they have of how big the waves are is ridiculous. It also gives some names of surfers who had surfed some of the biggest waves in the world at these odd spots. This article i thought was awesome because it gives you pictures so you can actually see how big some of the waves are in the world that people are actually surfing.
