The wildly popular Mavericks surf contest may be back, with some tweaks. Last time the contest was held, February 2010, spectators were injured by a rogue wave in a viewing area.

Let the griping about the "commercialization of Mavericks" begin; we'll meet you at the surf-inspired food truck. [SF Examiner]
