Surfersvillage Global Surf News -- Mavericks pioneer and big wave surf legend Jeff Clark filed a lawsuit today against Mavericks Surf Ventures Inc. (MSV), the company he co-founded to run the Mavericks Surf Contest, and its current directors. The lawsuit cites breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and fraud. “I’ve waited patiently and remained quiet in an effort to settle our issues in private, without casting a shadow over the contest that I founded. But it’s obvious MSV has no intention of working this out. They have forced me to file suit in order to move on with my life,” Clark said.

NORTH HAMPTON — Imagine waking up at the crack of dawn to surf the New Hampshire waters in freezing weather conditions during a snowstorm. Now imagine driving more than 60 miles to snowboard in the White Mountains after such a surf and driving back to the Rye Airfield Skate Park for a skateboard nightcap.
According to staff members of North Hampton's Cinnamon Rainbows Surf Company, there are a few patrons from the area who have completed this type of triathlon with boards. Though such a feat is only accomplished by a few local diehard athletes, winter surfing in the Seacoast has become increasingly popular over the past decade, making New Hampshire a winter surf destination.
