Mavericks Surf Contest - K38 Big Wave Surfing Rescues

Shawn Alladio of K38 headed up the training program for the 2010 Mavericks big wave surfing contest. She is the foremost authority for RWC training. The select team was comprised of the top fielded watermen familiar with the infamous big wave break. ++++++++++++++++++ Background: For the first time in History, viewers can see what a water rescue professional's work feels like through the GoPro and David Pu'u imagery. Enjoy the captures from the water rescue team perspective in large waves at Mavericks during the contest on a deep winter swell in California. A personal view into a world only a few have experienced. The 2009-2010 Mavericks Big Wave Surfing Contest water rescue team organized through the efforts of the Mavericks Surfers. Shawn Alladio was appointed as the Mavericks Water Safety Director and tasked to train a team of watermen who had local knowledge of the Mavericks big wave location at Pillar Point, Ca. The team was chosen and the training began up to and through the Mavericks contest day and a follow up K38 Open Water Rescue Boat course in Morro Bay CA. Working under the leadership of Katherine Clark, the Mavericks contest event organizer, the team rallied through emails, phone calls, and a 24 hour notice with limited on water time. K38-Mavericks Water Rescue Team: Vince Broglio, Russell Smith, Garrett McNamara, Ryan Augenstein and Shawn Alladio. The K38 rescue support team rounded out with Ryan Levinson and reknowned Challenged Athlete, Jonathan Cahill and David Pu'u who documented the rescue teams story. Brazilian big wave surfer Carlos Burle (orange jersey) is shown being recovered on Shawn Alladio's rescue board during the competition on a Go Pro camera attached to her rescue board. Zach Wormhoudt in the yellow jersey is recovered right before Mushroom Rock by Russell Smith wearing a GoPro chesty.. Garrett McNamara's helmet mounted GoPro catches some of his on-water work from the prestigious event. . Many other fantastic staff and unrecognized volunteers worked the event land and water based, deserving many accolades for their support.

In 1998 San Francisco County adopted an ordinance aimed at reducing conflicts and adverse impacts in coastal waters. Central to the ordinance is the restriction of the use of personal watercraft, more commonly known as jet-skis. Under the law jet skis are banned within 1200 feet of the entire shoreline of San Francisco County – known as a "special use area"- including the east part of Angel Island and all of Alcatraz and Treasure Islands. An "access corridor" allows jet skis to launch from the public boat ramp and travel out to Bay waters beyond the special use area. The ordinance also includes a provision which allows citizens to file a private nuisance suit if harassed by jet ski activity. I would call the SFPD Marine unit and the USCG Golden Gate to be sure.

Thanks for the feedback, I always try and make sure that the guys in the water are aware of where their leash is. The tow line I can control and am ultimately responsible for BUT that leash is always such a worry, especially if the guy has just taken a few on the head and its been stretched! You still rate those Kawasaki's?

Ahoy, so far I have not done it nor have any of my students. However I have seen many towsurfers draw into their jet pump intake their tow lines, and also the big mistake many make is to have a bow line hard tethered to the bow eye, these are probably the most dangerous lines to be worried about. Leashes are always on my mind and I consider this problematic because in aerated water it is difficult to know where the boils will take the leash/broken/drifting. Good question.

Do you ever get the leash caught in the impeller?

K38rescue
K38rescue - 11 years ago
Because of the standards for water rescue requiring a 3 seater craft, the weight of the boat is good. The Ultra Hull is proven and tested as being the best rough water hull on the market currently. As far as the super charged units, they have a high fail rate, we don't need horsepower, as in the aerated water the pump efficiency is the concern not the speed of the craft because cavitation is an equalizer and throws that HP myth out the door. I use the same boats outr students train on.

We are using stock Kawasaki Ultra LX Jetskis. Naturally aspirated. We stay away from turbo and super charged units.
