UPDATE, MAY 2010: Based on comments from the Bike Magazine, this production is the most-watched video in Bike Magazine’s history by over 45%.  I am thrilled that this piece has created such a stir and offer a huge congratulations to Keith DeFiebre.  He is a great guy and spent a lot of time with me, graciously answering all of my questions.

This event was a blast.  If you are a bike enthusiast you have to make it a priority to attend or race at least once in your life, no matter where in the world you live.  The event boasts 47,000 spectators and approximately 8,500 riders over the 4-day event and hosts competitive events in every major genre of cycling including downhill, cross-country, dual slalom (as seen here), road bike, stunt and BMX to name a few.

This multimedia piece features Keith DeFiebre, dual slalom course designer at the Sea Otter Classic for 20 years.  Keith has designed courses all over the North America including Whistler, B.C, Idaho, Montana and the Sierra Nevadas, but the Sea Otter remains special to him as it hosted in his home town and he has been a part of the festival since its inception.  Click the photo to watch.

These galleries give a glimpse of the view from my lens. They take you through my entire day from when I arrived in Half Moon Bay before 6am and found the K38 Rescue team preparing for gargantuan waves to the fans battling the fog that obstructed their view in the early morning to the infamous “rogue wave” that crashed onto the shore injuring approximately 13 people.
