I had a relatively pleasant interaction with a Foil Assist guy last week, named Tim. I regularly SUP foil Mushroom Rock which is in and around Mavericks. There is always energy but it is extremely choppy so most people don’t like to foil the spot. A guy came from around the harbor side and up to the beach. I asked what was up and he said he was going to get another battery. Ok.
I then caught a wave from Mushroom to the Harbor Entrance ~ 1 mile. I was paddling back when he came from behind me, out the harbor mouth, and powered out to a reef called King Rock. He proceeded to catch waves in and around King Rock. They were probably 4- 7 foot faces, crumbling and then fading into open ocean/bay.
When I saw him later he said “Wow those were really good waves out there.”
NO ONE HAS EVER IN THE HISTORY of HUMANITY has chosen to paddle out the King Rock to catch waves. Good for him. But I suspect he is a rarity.
