oversized et al. just don't cover it.
After the European corner came alive at Punta Galea and Nazaré, it was Jaws' turn to step-up, and in one last vicious dissipation of low pressure energy it was Northern California's Mavericks who closed the chapter on one of the best month of monstrous surf the world will ever see, featuring a cast of favourites, and a couple of fresh faces along the way too.
