Astounding
Maverick's: A Documentary Film follows the discovery of Maverick's in the early 1990s, who the original riders are, and how they feel about riding the largest monster in the world. Although the footage is amazing, what really makes the movie unique are the interviews with the original riders of Maverick's. Any surfer who has ever been taken down by a 5 footer, a 10 footer, or a 40 footer will be on edge throughout a lot of this film. The stories they have, directly from the riders of Maverick's mouths, will haunt you. There were several moments during the film where I was panic stricken. Although I have never ridden anything above 7 feet, and have never been out in anything above 10 feet, I have still had a few scary take down moments (for me anyway), and Maverick's: A Documentary Film puts every surfer in the seat of what it would feel like to be put down by an ice cold 40 footer. Jay Moriarty's famed wipeout is particularly a good story, as is the death of poor Mark Foo. If The Endless Summer is Huckleberry Finn, Maverick's: A Documentary Film is Rocky.
