The average level of the surfers in that lineup is pretty insane, those drops are so steep ! Beautiful edit btw, perfect balance of transitions/raw content.
looks so FUN when peter mel and twiggy do it. they look all casual and happy like how we mere mortals are surfing 3-5 malibu on a glassy spring morning. i am scared to be on the beach in half moon bay when Mavs is breaking because the ground itself shakes. these folks are a different breed.
That left is the next level at Mavericks. Sitting here at my desktop, some of those faces look beautifully "impossible" to make. I'd imagine either this year or next, there will be a crew surfers charging it exclusively, if they aren't already. Someone will get the most mind blowing Death or Glory spit-out onto the shoulder, and the Mavericks crew will take it further than we ever thought possible. Unreal show to watch dudes (and dudettes...). Thanks for letting us peek in from the safety of our nice comfortable couches! 😎👍🤙🏄♂️✌
At this size I think I would try it....on second thought, I'll just watch on my laptop lol and go to Oceanside tomorrow and catch it at a gnarly 3 to 5 foot.
Holy lurching lurcherness that wave is CRAZY! Would have loved to see someone trying to really backdoor that left, but I understand how hard that would be-and heavy... amazing stuff there gentlemen. Very nice work. Aloha from Hawaii. By the way, I was at Waimea Bay yesterday (not surfing), and I think this was heavier...!
I Had some good headphones on when I came across this video. The parts without the music is pretty incredible. The sounds coming off the water ...these are my go to videos while I’m taking a dump. Fresh water surfing
This was a perfect sized swell and conditions to really give those lefts a go. Any bigger and those wide swinger wash throughs make it too sketchy to sit inside waiting for them. Stoked to see these guys charging it and props to the crazy guy shooting water shots....the edit was sick too.
I want to see footage from today dudes. It looked epppiicccc!!! I swear a huge like 10 wave set just kept rolling through bombs as soon as I looked at the cam this morning!! 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙👍👍
I have been reading and watching videos since the 90's about mavericks , I would never surf there its just way out of my league and co.fort zone but love watching it , but this video may have been the best I have ever seen , not the biggest or gnarliest waves I've seen there but it looked like the guys and maybe girls were having a great time out there , not so packed as it looked in the early 90's just super fun , I wish I had the skill to ride it , but at 53 it ain't happening 😀
From 1973 until 1982 I lived in Santa Cruz California. I didn't surf but I knew a lot of surfers + I'd manage a restaurant bar near the boardwalk called positively Front Street. if you live in Santa Cruz that long you know lots of surfers + positively Front Street was close to Lighthouse Point and Steamer Lane. back then I remember hearing talk of Mavericks as an insanely dangerous place nobody surfed. and as I learned many years later almost nobody did. It was evidently two guys that would go out and they are lucky to be alive because back in those days the break wasn't full a rescue boats and waverunners come to the rescue when you got pounded. Even with modern rescue it's insanely dangerous. The wave kicks up because the reef is shallow and people have died with their surfboards jammed between cracks in the reef and they couldn't free themselves in time or got knocked unconscious.
Ahhhh amazing waves I always watch amazed riding the heavy waves with heavy music like Delta Parole or with relaxing music videos in background. If crazy like then always heavy tho
at least an authentic video whithout any silly music which shows us the terrific noise and awesome ocean's atmosphere ...so small men in front of the nature.! thanks a lot and luck to the braves
its the 6 dec. and theres santa anas in so cal valleys with snow on the peaks all the way down St. Martin baja and no rain on the plains or coast just weird, maverick well .... massive
Great video! Although I admit I get a little apprehensive when their path takes them in front of the Land Of The Lost Bolders, and I just hope nobody falls. These guys have Brass Balls!
@@lorettanericcio-bohlman567 Yup! Didn’t mean to miss anyone. Especially when I watched that Gal kill Nazarre! Don’t recall her name, but she spoke French very well, which I do not understand unfortunately! Yeah, she was awesome! Definitely a member of the club!
It's such a weird wave, it's literally just a peak with a takeoff in deep water then peiters out, but then oddly the first wave that Peter Meil got was a long rideable wall all the way to the rocks..?
This might be a dumb question... but is this the same swell that was ripping up The north shore a few days ago? Some of the nicest angels I’ve seen of Mavs. Quality work bro. 👌🏼
This is really great but at 9:35 it looks like that guy was being turned into a pretzel. I hope he survived. I have never surfed on a surfboard but I did do some body surfing many years ago visiting friends in Miami Beach but those waves were much smaller of course but I did have lots of fun and sometimes I did get sucked under for a few seconds when I miscalculated my timing. I will never forget hearing the energy or roar of the ocean when I first got to the beach.
It is crumbling instead of barreling at this wave height...The pocket is on the slope just ahead of the wash...You can’t make the barrel on the left because the wave energy ejects you too far ahead to make the turn...Some epic wipeouts getting crushed...
At 2:09 a surfer takes the left... does he need to worry about being in the wrong spot for the next wave? How does he get back out to the line up? Asking for a friend....
Next time you do some of these videos in slow motion have some shots showing whoever surfing the waves in reverse while slow motion. Not only would it look neat I think I could learn something from it and maybe improve on my technique of couch surfing.
