When
Bernie Baker, the 2001 Op Pro event
organizer announced to Andy and Bruce
Irons that the final was to be held at
Maccas, they were pissed off. Why?
Cause they were surfing against Occy
and Maccas is Occy’s favorite wave.
How can I describe Maccas? Its almost
everyone’s favorite left no matter who
you are or how well you surf. The wave
starts with a classic dredging tube
section and then slows down just
enough to offer a never-ending lip.
No other wave on this planet is more
suited to top to bottom surfing.
Bottom turn WHACK, bottom turn WHACK,
bottom turn WHACK. Eight vertical
re-entries in a row. Huge superman
air, endless pig dog barrel, 20m roof
riding floater, Maccas is as close to
a liquid skate park as you can get.
It works best at 4-6 foot, one and
half times overhead but no bigger and
is suited to all makes of surfer.
