As young kids Pete and Tommy grew up in the small coastal town of Half Moon Bay living just 3 blocks from the ocean. Being this close to the ocean they naturally did a lot of swimming and surfing growing up.
They enjoyed swimming but as soon as they surfed a wave for the very first time they were hooked. From then on they started to focus all their time and effort towards surfing knowing it was their true passion.
Tommy and Pete’s swimming background gave them great skills and confidence in XXL surf from a young age. They first surfed Mavericks; a triple diamond surf break located in Half Moon Bay, at the age of 15 and 16 years old.
After high school Peter became an Ocean Lifeguard for the State of California while Tommy went to study business down in Santa Barbara. During this time both brothers would teach surf lessons on the side for other surf schools to make a little extra money.

This rocky seashore hosts a living community of marine life that is of great interest to visitor and naturalist alike. A variety of algae, crabs, sponges, seastars, mollusks, and fish make their homes in the inter-tidal; that area between low and high tide. The Reserve is set aside to protect this complex but fragile community for us and future generations. The Reserve is popular with school and community groups for its educational value.
Just five minutes north of Inn At Mavericks is a spectacular section of the Pacific Coast that very few travelers find. Cypress Tree Tunnels at Seal Cove are the perfect place for taking your dog for a walk through the forest and on towards the bluffs.
The trail is about a 1/2 mile walk through the overhangs. At the north end of the trail is a stunning view of the Pacific Ocean. You can either park at the south end of the area at the Cypress Cove entrance (off of Cypress Ave & Beach Way) or north end at the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve Parking area. Each allows for a quick walk up to the Cypress Tunnels.
Mavericks is a surfing location in northern California outside Pillar Point Harbor, just north of the town of Half Moon Bay at the village of Princeton-by-the-Sea. After a strong winter storm in the northern Pacific Ocean, waves can routinely crest at over 25 ft (8 m) and top out at over 60 ft (18 m). Routinely, waves that break can be recorded on seismometers. The break is caused by an unusually shaped underwater rock formation.
Mavericks is a winter destination for some of the world's best big wave surfers.[1] From 1999 to 2016, an invitation-only contest called the Titans of Mavericks was held there during most winter surfing seasons, whenever the winter wave conditions there were deemed to be suitable to meet the needs of the contest.
