Mavericks is a world-renowned big-wave located one-half mile off the coast of Half Moon Bay, California. In 1975, Jeff Clark became the first person to ever surf Mavericks. For the next 15 years, he surfed there alone as no one else dared to tackle what is today considered one of the most challenging waves in the world. Many believe this 15 year solo effort to be one of the great feats in surfing history. According to top big-wave surfer and respected filmmaker Grant Washburn, "I think about that sometimes, and every time it's just amazing to me. I just can't imagine anyone having that kind of courage and commitment at a place so dangerous, when you're so alone."
By the early 1990s, word of Jeff's adventures began to spread, and since then Mavericks has moved into the foreground of modern big-wave surfing, attracting the most elite riders to test its limits each time it breaks. These riders are presented with waves that have crested at over 50 feet, remarkably strong currents, dangerously jagged rocks and shallow reefs, and frigid water temperatures. In summary, Mavericks is like no other place on the planet.
