Massive Mavericks – Big Wave Surfing – Biggest swell of the year hits California – 12.28.23
Giant swell hits the coast of California causing flooding and destruction. Meanwhile a large group of surfers take on Mavericks in Half Moon Bay, California. This was some of the biggest swell numbers we’ve seen for Mavericks. After almost missing my flight I flew over after filming Jaws the day before. Not knowing what to expect as the day before at Mavericks had extreme south winds and stormy conditions. Got up early and it was massive. We all knew it would be a tow day. The cliff was packed with people as water was going over the break wall and swamping people all day. Jojo Roper caught the wave of the day. Luca Padua stood out as well on one of the craziest waves from the day. Andrew Cotton got towed into a monster that clamped on him. Bianca Valenti had an insane wipeout that resulted in a 20 second hold down and popping up right before she took the next wave on the head. And Kai Lenny and Lucas Chianca surf giant mavericks like it was a small day. Enjoy this video from an Historic Day at Mavericks.

More towing in πππΌ FYI… None of you deserved those spectacular powerful waves. Eat ya breakfast bra and paddle
7:03 is a nightmare scenario!
Agreed no fear fie Kai
Great vid but cannot agree with that rather annoying vocal percussion that just seems… distracting
Kai Lenney killing it!! But the Lenny family gotta stop living off the Hawaiian's back's!!Because that's what they do in Hawaii!!
Sick footage and was waiting for this day to see via video. Mavs poppin as usual when the pulse is rt!
How do they manage to stay afloat with such balls of steel??? Beautiful swell.
What an amazing footage and soundtrack!!!!
Congrats !
That skimmer is whack
Top notch video!
Luca Padua doing critical things in crucial places, very torquey, very thick, very vertical. Also: Fink is riding a skimboard.
Wow. Thanks. π
It looks like Portugal and Hawaii made their way to California.
Wow I absolutely loved watching that footage and truly hated listening to that godawful soundtrack
Thank you! Thank you! For documenting so vividly and providing these absolutely terrifying views that I will never dare attempt in a 1000 years! ππ
That is incredible footage in tough conditions. Overcast, flat bad light and it still looks great. Nice work photographers.
Hey mate. Love your video. Also your music choices are far better than the majority of surf edits on YouTube nowadays. Bring back the tunes ππ½π₯ππ½ββοΈ Yew!
Yeah Jojo. Hammer!!
kai lenny is not from this world!
@2:30 LUCA'S wave πW.O.T.Y. π
WoW got to love life! Kai, you're just playing with her. Thank you!
Incredible footage and perfect song choices. Cant imagine getting GodSmacked by one of those waves
So sick! As more people mess with the pocket and tickle an over-vert wall like Luca Padua at 3:28, it seems like weβre really setting up for some dramatic upright-over-the-falls space launches in our future.
You guys are all awesome! What Huevos to be in the water this past week! Thanks for the great videography!
All these tow surfers out running perfect barrels..one day they will figure out how to get in there hopefully π
Superb! π₯
