General Overview

It took a while for the behemoth at Maverick's to gain respect and world wide attention, but with the passing of big wave legend Mark Foo, who died on a medium sized day, people started to take notice. With frigid water, an extremely long and lonely paddle out, gnarly rocks and hard to figure out currents, Maverick's is truly a hard core wave. But for those who are brave enough the reward is one of the best big waves in the world.
