Mavericks Invitational Surf Contest Highlights 2013

Last weekend, Chris MacAskill, Ivan Makarov, Kevin Harrington and Michael Bonocore from SmugMug were invited to shoot the Mavericks Invitational Big Wave Surf tournament from a boat cruising right off of the famed - and dangerous - Mavericks surf break, a world-famous big wave break located one-half mile off the coast of Half Moon Bay, California. Armed with enough photography equipment to make @Borrow Lenses jealous, the team came away with footage of some of the world's best surfers, plus an awesome slow motion, action-packed movie of the competition as well. We hope you like it as much as they enjoyed making it! Video By Michael Bonocore and Chris MacAskill Video Editing By Chris MacAskill Photos By Ivan Makarov, Michael Bonocore Special thanks to this year's winner, @Peter Mel, and surf legends @Chris Bertish and @Ken Skindog Collins for appearing in the video.

I have attempted to surf (not Mavericks) at half moon bay (where Mavericks takes place) and let me tell you that it is so difficult to surf with normal size waves let alone Mavericks. So much respect for these guys

I only saw one song by Jeff Heim on iTunes. Another beautiful song, would really love to get this "Truth Lies Within" song. I am not a surfer. I don't live near the ocean. I remember watching it on tv when I was young. Thought it was really fun to watch. Really enjoyed this video.

you make surfing sound like its some kind of strict sport that has a never ending rulebook of "violating priorities." at a wave like mavericks, once you pull in, you cant pull out cuz the waves too powerful. david philips is right. it was probably an accident. once both guys got up, they were all ready too far down the face to bail. so they had no choice but to share a wave. learn how to share and you'll get more respect @liuyloui
Austin Killeen
Austin Killeen - 10 years ago
of course its dangerous on big days to be dropping in on guys and snaking other surfers..so im not saying to do it... just play it cool and dont make a big deal out of it. just continue with your surfing and have a fun session.. you will get more respect by being kind rather than being a total jerk about it
Austin Killeen
Austin Killeen - 10 years ago
sure, it can be disrespectful to drop in on guys out there and anywhere, and its for sure dangerous. but what pisses me off is when i see guys fighting over who had right of way on a wave and theyre just yelling and cussing each other out not even realizing that they are completely unharmed. if someone drops in on you, then why should you care? all you have to do is bail off your board and paddle out to catch another. theres no need to make a big deal about it and going around picking fights.

These guys suck; I'm not saying there bad at surfing but holy shit they have no respect for each other in the water. All I just saw was a bunch of over aggressive guys dropping in on each other repeatedly. Look at 1:30, the surfer in red is pathetic

Tow in has made paddle in look slow and cumbersome. Big board to get into the wave which then turns like a tanker.

Awesome :) Great job as usual Chris. My little 720p / 120fps Sony Action Cam and GoPro Hero would love to do the waves justice like this. I do have one 720p wave video that I posted on Christmas day, from Big Sur in mid December.
