... announcing to surfing's big-wave
fraternity Mavericks was the real deal.
:56:08
That's when the entire,
you know, surf world...
:56:11
...converged on Mavericks, like,
"Okay, this place is legitimate.
:56:15
We're gonna really see
what it's worth here."
:56:20
On December 23rd, the sudden
arrival of three of Hawaii's...
:56:24
... most famous
Waimea Bay surfers...
:56:26
... Ken Bradshaw,
Brock Little and Mark Foo...
:56:29
... created the biggest stir
and gave the impression...
:56:32
... that something momentous
was taking place.
:56:40
That day was amazing...
:56:42
...to have the Hawaiians paddling out:
Brock Little, Mark Foo, Ken Bradshaw.
:56:47
My gosh, I was like a proud parent
or something like that, you know...
:56:52
...because they gave the spot
that I've surfed for so many years...
:56:56
...the credibility
to actually come and surf it.
:56:59
Helicopters were hovering,
and photographers...
:57:02
...from all the mags were there,
and it was just crazy.
:57:05
We knew it was the day.
:57:06
This was one of the best days
of surfing I've ever had out there.
:57:20
Then at approximately 11:20 a.m.,
during a beautiful medium-sized set...
:57:24
... Mark Foo paddled,
hopped to his feet...
:57:27
... and dropped into his second wave
of the day.
:57:52
I went to lunch.
I came back out to the point.
:57:54
I saw Brock in the parking lot,
and there was this guy, Greg, eerily:
:57:59
"Have you seen Mark Foo?"
