mavs is pretty gay
mavs hardly ever barrels good enough to get a slab throwin over u and most if not all surfers just race down the face of it as if its a friggin slipnslide mavs is uniquely californian because its sux ass......not a real slab of a wave like cyclops or salty dogs

Epic
Saint Mavs is, like, the Missions... touched from God and uniquely Californian..
