Favorable weather conditions made for an amazing morning of surfing in a Mavericks non-contest event on January 15, held at the Mavericks tournament site a half-mile from the shore at Half Moon Bay’s Pillar Point. Non-contest days are essentially practice sessions held prior to the one-day tournament (this year’s tournament window closes February 28). The actual date for the Mavericks contest will be set 48 hours before the contest, depending on conditions. Photographer Steve Martarano took this photo from the Queen of Hearts boat operated by Half Moon Bay Sportfishing.

This energized hip hop throw-down breaks through with a hand-picked, live band of musicians and vocalists to fully realize Hamilton’s incredible music. The songs are brought to life through a mesmerizing group consisting of professional theater actors fresh off runs with pop musicals ‘The Book Of Mormon’, ‘In The Heights’, ‘RENT’, ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ & ‘Evita’ and more. The songs are comprised of music from the Original Cast Recordings, The Hamilton Mixtape and Lin Manuel Miranda’s “Hamildrops.”

THE REVIEWS:

“History Has Its Eyes On You [now The ALEXANDER Project] captures the spirit of the musical through strong vocals, live and DJ music and hip-hop dance performance.” — Lynn Trimble of the Phoenix New Times.

“They focused instead on songs that people can resonate with today; songs about love, lust, parenthood and the endless and revolutionary impact of immigrants. The show isn’t a performance of the musical, but a celebration of the timeless themes and transcendental music—and performed on a stunning level, of course… I sincerely hope this show returns to Tucson, because it is a hell of a good time.” — Chelo Grubb of the Tucson Weekly.
