My GOD!! Man versus beast. I have never been on a surfboard in my life but I love to watch this. I honestly don't know why. I was always a horse person. But this just amazes me. And I love it when they get through it!!! I want to cheer!

Damn, you can really see the strong progression of comfort and different styles starting to emerge on that wave, now. They're not just trying to "make it" anymore. Sick video.

The not dying...omfg...! Props to camerawork!!! The outtake stills were jaw dropping.

I’ve never surfed or lived near the ocean but I can’t stop watching these guys. Crazy bastards I love it

Healey's ride charging through that barrel was insane.

Pretty sure I would have a heart attack out there. Massive respect for these guys.

I lived right above Maverick (long before it was called Mavericks or Mavz!) and for about 30 years, I used to walk to the cliff right above the area and watch them surf the wave. The height of the wave has been highly exaggerated, it is usually about 20+' but if there is a storm out at sea, it can get up to almost twice that height, but that's rare. It MAY be that due to icebergs melting in the north, that the volume of water has increased some in our oceans, in the last few years with warmer global temps, but from trough to crest, Maverick is reaching to even be a 60 footer. The danger in surfing that wave lies with the rocky bottom and cliff where the wave breaks. That can be dangerous water if you get get pushed to the bottom. I went out on a boat with a friend from Pillar Point Harbor to help search for Mark Foo two days before Christmas in 1994, but we did not find him; they recovered him two days later. The water had been high for about a week when the news broke that it was pushing heights and people started coming from all over to surf, including Foo who jetted over from Hawaii. The water from the crash of the wave can push right up into the cliff and spray clear up on top where I was sitting when there had been a storm at sea, increasing the water volume. I moved from the area in 1998, but they had lost another surfer there the year before, and probably have lost some since I've been away. I'm in the snowy mountains now and snow is so quiet compared to living right on the Coastside in stormy weather, often the wind would blow so hard and the roar of the ocean was so deafening that I had to sleep in a bedroom farther away from that window facing the sea, which I sometimes feared, would blow in on me! If Maverick has grown substantially, I would probably have heard about it from friends. But who can say, I'm sure when it's stormy, that wave, in front of you, can appear to be 100' tall, which would be a world record!

Sooooooo SICK!!! Some incredible rides and footage!

Beautiful waves, digging the tune. Nice

great music at the end. usually never hear a reggae beat with a polished, tied together lead guitar on top. all in all an excellent video of an awesome place.

Loved this! Excellent. Thank you! ❤️

As a life long surfer these guys are a different breed.

Excellent footage, loved it!!!

True big wave surfers paddle in. Mad respect.

Best surf video ever.

Some great drops, awesome pulls into a barrel - not a moment to think about getting nailed. Just pull and go....awesome.

Good night! This is beyond brave to go out there. Even the very best doing it right but still getting worked HARD.

Major huevos. The water is ALWAYS cold here. There are rocks from the beginning of time and sharks, just in case you need a little added spice. Some of the very best watermen. AWESOME at every level.

Damn, Wilem Banks was fully embedded in the lip of a top to bottom Maverick's beast. That was hard core. Gotta respect those guy's.

Awesome footage/background music!

Inspiring guys. Great work

Great footage; thanks for posting.

Yo Eric. You nailed it. Again....

Another fine production of moving artistry

That last drop was just insane 😳

Best Mavs! #Respect Crew + Video Work

Nice edit from one of the best who has been filming it there for a long time!

The wave where the lad went left and got absolutely barrelled out there, at 4:32, was absolutely insane yeah..(!!)

amazing video. Pure art.

Thanks! It would have been nice to let the film clips run out longer, like so we could see the result of the ski getting swamped or Matt Lopez's incredible ride.

Love that song!

Great video as always.

Jan. 26, Australia Day, of course it's gonna be great surf! :)

Nice job honing in on a beat down... Let’s us remember how awesome it feels to make one (& I’m only referring to the little 5-7 footers I b gettin’...lol)🤙🏻

There was this guy, Hmmmmmmmm, trying to recall his name. Oh wait, I remember it!! Quiet Riding Mike!!! From Oriole Beach Florida. NW Florida. Right near Cedar Key where Florida takes its turn heading down south. This guy was always dead quiet. Always smiled. Always. Had $$$$$$$$$ to burn. Yet was soooooo down to earth. And he could surf the biggest damn waves I’ve ever seen!!! He deliberately traveled the world, north south east west warm tropical waters to ice cold freeze your nuts off water. He surged them all. No fear. He had. And man, did he surf drop down inside 50 60 70 plus WAVES!!!! [

Yeow that is some sick monsters I guess if your gonna surf big waves u need to be comfortable among a lot of other things free falling with it board just dropping out from under u and even if u get good ride the wave still gets u .THANKS wow.

Music was great - especially the last one.

The part at 3:11 is crazy, he was trying to drop and the wave picked him up and literally threw him over the falls. These guys have some serious balls to drop in on that monstrosity of a wave

Incredible!

that wave just jacks up and launches! What is the speed of it, i wonder?not down the face but hurtling forward, i mean? It screams

Damn, that was one crowded wave :) How those swimmers manage to escape timely and avoid getting squeezed by falling water mass from above and smashed all together in one pile - that's beyond me.

Has to be one of the heaviest sessions . Way maaaaacho

4:33 amazing

Do I get to ride in a Delorean to go into future and watch this video.

Mavs is just fkn epic.

Peter Mel almost went down for a two count. What a crazy day

Well that was a pretty slick vid of the real deal. Coughing up blood is better then breaking eardrums. Yay jetski patrol. Amazing athletes.

Carlos Burle is Always where the action is!

Peter Mel got absolutely detonated on that wave

Insane fuckin' footage! Killer work, dudes.

Here because of argument in another surfing video. Is the waves bigger here or in Nazaré Portugal? Thanks Can see the waves here and smoother and cleaner, Nazaré is like surfing in a washer machine.

Not for the weak .Fast Cold Mean..

When I surfed the Mavericks, the A-frames were akaw. I was totally stoked and amped but there were some aggro Barneys that showed up so I bailed

Not only r these warriors riding giant powerful waves, on top of that ice cold water sharks and all the gear they have to wear to stay alive. true gladiators.

How are u guys getting boards back ankle straps don't stay on in this kind of waves do they

What wipeouts the guy just landed in that nice white fluffy soft looking white foamy stuff no problem...doigh...thanks just kidding hope every body is good.piece.thanks for the show,mind blowing power.

Some of those sets that rolled through were mean and massive.

Free bird at the end was chill...

That look scary just watching!

How is this real?

Great music who is it?

3:55....like a house landing on your head.

OMG JANUARY 26 2017 THAT WAS MY 17TH BIRTHDAY AND THIS is to much

Those guys are effin crazy...

I lived there for 12 years used to play in the pool with my boat never surfed it I wasn't good enough but I was good on the throttle

7:01 - 6 seconds later he is standing on his board at the top of the wave!

Как это красиво и круто

Que buenas olas hay que subirse ahi eh

So sick

Great vid. Someone uploaded this same bit before. No biggie.

4:33 Healey has that left dialed in...threading the needle on that gargantuan barrel

So insane

would be great to see this quality footage of Dungeons in South Africa,or can it simply not be filmed at this level,too unpredictable ?

Awesome vid......mucho suffering.

Not only is mavs big but also super heavy

3:11 Cringed so hard. What a wipeout!!!

Healy's charge was nuclear.

Big !!!

In the 1970's I got pummeled by 12 foot waves, with a 2-wave hold-down. I sure wouldn't want to get worked by these.

when Stick Figure starts it`s pure magic

3:10 defiantly the most brutal one

What is that at 2:13? Bottom center.

Cold heavy water= produces more floatation -- resistance on surface- solid like.

6:22 Thats just crazy

Stick Figure! Nice.

Punishing 5 floor drop... 3:09

3:31 and 3:40. Wtf is behind him (upper left crn of the screen)?

A vision of the future: 24 hours to anywhere.

Gonads of steel.

How do they live? Being dumped in 2,3 footers is bad enough.

Already, the TV tubes, were a mis? < /3'v condensor tube Ro'' r < 3'v speed up Lo' variances / >

Who the hell gives this a thumbs down?! Humans are so weird...

whats the music?

Why drop to the *very* bottom where white water catches them ???

This was uploaded a loooong time ago already.

Oh yeah yeah

Right . On

That's "Nuckin Futs"!

I serfed North Bird Rock in 1975 the monster from New Zealand 55ft faces

3:01 what else could one say but NNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!
