Kawal, the recent naming convention is places in California. El Capitan is the
tallest peek in Yosemite national park which is an amazing outdoor space in
California that has been reserved as a national park. Mavericks is a place off
the Northern California coast not far from Santa Cruz or San Francisco where
one of the worlds most difficult and dangerous surfing competitions takes
place. It’s set up where surfers around the world get 24 hours notice to
travel to mavericks and then compete. Wave heights can be over 60 feet and
have broken 80 or more. More than not there’s at least one death during the
competition because the conditions are so extreme. Even spectators have been
washed out to sea which caused the observation area to be moved way back but
you used to be able to get right there on the water’s edge.
Yosemite as you know is the park I mentioned. So you can see these
names are California based. Still, I think El Capitan is the worst name for an
operating system ever.:)
