Mavericks contest organizers finally got their sponsors are all lined up and the waiting period starts on January 1, 2009, according to a Bruce Jenkins column in the San Francisco Chronicle.
Sources indicated that details are forthcoming, but the primary sponsors are said to be Jim Beam bourbon and benefactors Moose Guen and Jane Sutherland of MVision Equity Partners. . . . We’re all stoked that the sponsors stepped up and we’re back for another year,” said contest director Jeff Clark, the Half Moon Bay surfer who pioneered Maverick’s in the mid-1970s. “When Maverick’s is on, it’s the most challenging venue in surfing.”
Nice to see the economy isn’t killing everything.
