On Friday, October 30, 2009, organizer and surfers celebrated the opening of the Mavericks Surf Contest with a ceremonial paddle out. While they were out a “solitary figure appeared our of nowhere, according to a Bruce Jenkin’s story on SFGate.com.
“Out of the mist,” as Evan Slater said with a smile. . . It was Jeff Clark, cruising in on a stand-up paddle board. Clark may be the center of a highly political squabble behind the scenes, but he wanted to give the event his blessing. He said a few words, provided a much-needed jolt of inspiration and then paddled off. . . . “It was a great thing,” said Slater. “Really eased our minds. We know these past few months have really been hard on Jeff, and it was great to know he’s behind us.”
Clark is still not done with Mavericks Surf Ventures (who’s contest waiting period opens tomorrow). In fact, according to Jenkins he is “reportedly preparing legal action.” As we’ve said before. We’d back Jeff.
