In 1990, a photo of Maverick's taken by Steve Tadin, a friend of Clark, was published in Surfer magazine. This triggered a flood of interest in Maverick's as surfers realized that world-class big waves could be found in California.

As news of Maverick's spread, many big-wave surfers came and surfed the new break.
