With the crown jewel of the Big Wave World Tour set to kick off tomorrow, the world’s best are gathering around Half Moon Bay, California, for a huge swell. The first event of the BWWT should be momentous with a more than suitable swell headed for Mavericks.
This clip is from last year’s Mavericks Invitational, but it gives you a sense for how heavy the spot is and the danger these big wave surfers put themselves in time and time again.
Surfers Mark Healy, Greg Long, 2013 Champion Peter Mel, Zach Wormhoudt, Dave Wassel and more strapped GoPro cameras to the noses of their boards and this compilation takes you through the highs and lows of surfing Mavericks.
Watch it live on television tomorrow and on the webcast here.
