I hated watching this. Like it's suppose to turn me on and want to go surf Maverick's? What a crowded dangerous wave full of shoulder hoppers. It doesn't matter if it's a two foot wave or a twenty foot wave. To cute someone off is the lowest form of surfing and you can't be proud of it and say, "Did you see that wave I got?" But you could say, " Hey, did you see me cut that guy off and cause him that terrible wipeout? Wasn't that cool?" I'm so glad I'm missing out on all this so-called great surf.

I grew up and still live here.  My friends would surf here before class in high school (before all the Jeff Clark commercialization)  You gotta be crazy to jump in that water.  I have no shame in admitting I have small balls compared to these guys.  Respect.

Hey poop, not sure why you're dissing Jeff Clark, he's been out there since the beginning. He obviously loves surfing and loves the spot. There will always be people getting in on the action, but Jeff is the real deal. I'm glad he's making a living at the thing he loves.

This Might Be the Prettiest Footage of Surfing Giant Maverick's We've Ever Seen - The Inertia? If this is surfing I quit. Looks like a Malibu crowd with shoulder hoppers and snakes. I don't see anybody riding through the peak. They're all taking off on the shoulder and nobody's in the right position. That's what happens when it gets too crowded. You can't pick and choose the important take off positions when you're fighting just to get one for yourself. This Might Be the Prettiest Footage of Surfing Giant Maverick's We've Ever Seen - The Inertia? I don't think so but who cares what I think.

The very last ride, where the surfer just avoids pearling and then falls to his butt and then rides it out sitting down on his board with his fist in the air -- I'd be cheering too, if I hadn't wiped out on that monster! -- was a perfect ending shot. Bravo!

Did anybody follow the board going over the falls on that first opening wave?? Once the leash snugs up you get a glimpse of someone about to get the beating of their life. Wipeout of the year nobody noticed

Almost that big eh?? And you pull on your leash to surface?
hahaha I live in HB and have surfed everywhere from the Ranch to Tiajuana sloughs for the last 30 years..... I usually just swim up since your so deep(& ears popping) you can feel which way the leash is pulling. But hey whatever works for you.... maybe a pfd would help if you go that big?
VINCE BERNAL
VINCE BERNAL - 7 years ago
yes it sure is nasty!!! it has happened to me several times---NOT AT MAVS!! and still, almost that big!! It really tests your breath saving skills because you are under water already and then get dragged and stretched and beaten up and then maybe a quick breath before the next whitewater hit. JUST GO RIGHT TO YOUR LEASH!!! THEN TAKE CONTROL OF IT AND GO UP TOWARDS YOUR BOARD

Great film Adam! Amazing footage. Would like to see some variety such as more b-roll and cameral angles (behind waves toward shore, aerials, CU of guys scrambling in line up, walking on trail). Add that and a power ending and this would rock the Indie Film festivals.

WOW! The guy that saved his ass at 5:50 is a bad ass!!! I was watching and started laughing and cheering and clapping all at once. What an epic save. And this video was pretty stellar. I would like to have seen more guys complete their wave, and still this was so beautiful, and the timing was great. Well done on the edit and the music choice. Great video over all. I really enjoyed it.

BLACK05GO1 - 7 years ago
Big, beautiful waves, but lots of shoulder hopping in my opinion. At most big breaks you'll see people dropping into the wave much deeper in the critical section of the wave. Most of these rides are way over on the shoulder way to the right of the most critical part of the wave. Still beautiful to watch.
