MEDIA ALERT – March 3, 2008
NEWSFLASH: 2008 Mavericks Surf Contest® Champion Greg Long
to Appear on FUEL TV’s “The Daily Habit”
WHO/WHAT: 2008 Mavericks Surf Contest® Champion Greg Long sits down with host Pat Parnell to talk about swell chasing, his win at Mavericks and the recent launch of his signature sandal by Ocean Minded, The Long Bros. sandal. Greg scored the only perfect 10 point wave of The Mavericks Surf Contest®, by taking a chance paddling into a 25 foot wave and sticking the late-steep drop, humbly etching his name in big-wave surfing history and winning the event. Mother Nature has been good to surfers this winter season and Greg has taken advantage of almost every swell she's produced, hitting up a majority of the West Coast big-wave spots including Baja, Cortez Bank, Mavericks and Ghost Trees. He’s also in strong contention for another potential big win at the Billabong XXL Awards in April.

The show also features a performance by special musical guest Brother Reade.

About The Mavericks Surf Contest®
Every winter season, Mother Nature offers up supremely harsh conditions and the giant, unpredictable waves that characterize Mavericks and the annual Mavericks Surf Contest®. Start with the frigid waters, dangerous currents, jagged rocks and the ever-present threat of the great white shark, add in perfect weather conditions, and then legendary big-wave pioneer and Contest Director Jeff Clark will make the call to 24 of the world’s best big-wave surfers. At that point, they will have only 24 hours to arrive in Half Moon Bay to face the extreme conditions, thunderous waves and each other. Coined as "the wave beyond," the Mavericks™ brand inspires hardcore athletes to face the unpredictably raw power of Mother Nature, and stirs the souls of those who aspire to challenge their own limits. Mavericks remains true to its core: a cold, mysterious and foreboding place that demands respect from everyone while inspiring them to attempt the extraordinary.
