HALF MOON BAY, Calif. -- A surfer was seriously injured at the Mavericks surfing spot in Half Moon Bay Saturday morning, a Coastside Fire Protection District battalion chief said.
Firefighters responded shortly before 10 a.m. to a report of a man who was injured at the famous surfing spot, located about a half-mile from Pillar Point Harbor, Battalion Chief Ari Delay said.
The surfer, who is about 30 years old, apparently wiped out on a wave and was found face down in the water by someone who was nearby and took him to shore, Delay said."
