Letter: The key to having any hope of reviving Mavericks surf contest

In the best of circumstances it's an extremely difficult event to pull off.

Knowing past errors key
to new Mavericks event

Re: “Why a college student who doesn’t surf is trying to reboot a Mavericks contest” (Mercurynews.com, Jan. 2):

I enjoyed Elliott Almond’s story on Elizabeth Cresson’s quixotic journey to revive the Mavericks surf contest.

In the best of circumstances it’s an extremely difficult event to pull off and without Mother Nature’s help … well, impossible.

I hope she does her homework on the past contest successes and failures, as many organizers have not learned from others’ mistakes.
