We all heard the surf advisories over Thanksgiving weekend -- the twenty foot waves in Ocean Beach even made the national news in the Wall Street Journal. But while most of us read "big waves" and think "stay home," a crazy few hear the warnings and rush for their wetsuits. Check out these photos of surfers at Mavericks over Thanksgiving weekend and be thankful that our heads were screwed on right.

Also, depending "on whether a swell forming off the California coast produces the right kind of waves," the Mavericks surf competition could happen next Tuesday, according to BCN.
