More than just a surf movie, "Maverick's" is an insider's look at a historical phenomenon as it happens. A mix of glassy 16mm and gritty video, Grant Washburn and Lili Schad have captured the evolution of Maverick's from a place where a lone lunatic named Jeff Clark roamed the water to one of the most famed big wave spots in the world. As you watch the film, the enormity of the place just smacks you in the face. Washburn's matter of fact commentary such as "That guy's gonna die" is unforgettable, and all the more believable when you see him hurlting his body off of the same waves he's documenting. This film is not "Endless Summer," but it's damn close....see for yourself.
