The Mavericks Awards is a digital video performance contest in which big wave surfers and videographers submit their best surf content from Mavericks from the entire winter season. Founded by Jeff Clark and Chris Cuvelier, our mission is to celebrate Mavericks and the brave men and women that surf it. Our values of community, respect, inclusion, equality, safety and environmental stewardship guide all our decisions and how we operate the Mavericks Awards.

I wonder as Fukushima continues to heat up the Pacific, if we will see more of these events?

No words can do this justice… it's got to be an unbelievable feeling to conquer something like this!!! I love the movie Chasing Mavericks… it's nice to see them still being chased!!! I would have liked to have heard more ocean. Thanks.

This is rad. I love my hood and this right here is the main reason i moved here; the surf culture. πŸ€™ πŸ„ Watching this was an adrenaline rush.

@itsherbiehancock7974 says:

I'm at Nazare right now. Waves are about 20-25 foot. I'm tempted to go in after missing the swell in my hometown in San Diego a few weeks ago that hit 20 feet.

@rodkoehler says:

IMHO, riding big waves like this is the greatest of all athletic feats.

I am in awe!

@srf2112 says:

That monster bowl they're pulling into is the outside peak on more regular big Mavericks days. That is so heavy.

@cmeride79 says:

Mahalos NUI for this great footage of Mavericks! Lookin' a little bit more like Makaha, we don't get to see this, EVER, unless we actually paddle out or live in the 'hood. I so appreciate the video – please, keep it coming whenever you can! Many thanks again. Hele on & stay safe: luv, a surfer girl from Kailua, Oahu.
