Poor Alex Martins. The guy stroked into a clean bomb at Mavericks but couldn’t fully negotiate the drop. What happens next, after the collective gasp, is something of a nightmare. A being held under by two waves with a momentary breath in between, a rescue is attempted. Martins washes in further and finally manages to climb onto the ski.
Final score: Mavericks 1 – Alex Martins 0. Maybe all that will change today as the 2014 Mavericks Invitational runs at massive Half Moon Bay, California. Watch it live here.
The black speck in front of the incoming surge of whitewater is Alex Martins grabbing a quick breath of oxygen.
